Dr. Susan Love wrote THE book(s) on breast cancer. Letting you know that an important research study was brought to my attention by her organization, The Army of Women Research Foundation. There is very little known about how DCIS progresses. A woman PhD, MD at Yale University is looking for women whose first breast cancer diagnosis was DCIS (regardless of whether they had subsequent other cancers) and know their BRCA 1 and 2 results. The study would involve a phone call and receiving questions in the mail. If this applies, they told me to go to Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation at www.ArmyofWomen.org. It will be very hard to find enough women who fit this description, but the study results will be life changing for people like me. ~~Connie~~

    I joined the Army of Women
    I joined the Army of Women organization a few months back. I haven't actually taken part in any of the research projects yet, and I don't qualify for this one, but I think the idea is wonderful. I plan to participate in their HOW project. I think this is an organization that we ALL need to consider joining.
