About me

Location	Maine, United States
Introduction	I never realized that sharing my story on a website called “Bald Wendy” would ultimately change the course of my life — and my career. But after documenting my diagnosis, treatments and emotions online for a year, the tremendous response I received from other breast cancer patients made me realize how important it was to create a community where anyone could write, read and share with loved ones … and with other breast cancer patients. I quit my corporate job in 2005 and founded BreastCancerStories.com – a NH-based non-profit organization. We provide an outlet for patients to stay connected with loved ones while going through treatment – an easy way to keep them updated without having to relive each experience with each telling. What makes this community different from a typical blog site is that visitors can search and read other people’s stories by age, location, type of breast cancer and treatment, find someone going through a similar experience, and even connect directly through email.
