One of the first things the PBCC would do is send her a Friends Like Me™ care package. Friends Like Me™ care packages have been carefully produced to address the needs of women newly-diagnosed with breast cancer. The materials are designed to support the new patient in a timely manner during those critical first few months when she is dealing with her diagnosis and making decisions about treatment options. Each box contains important and timely information about breast cancer treatment and support from a variety of organizations such as the National Cancer Institute, Cancer Information Service and the PBCC. In addition, each box includes a pink ribbon pin and various donated and complimentary gifts such as cosmetics, books, and personal care items. Of course, actual contents differ, depending on supply and demand. These packages cost the PBCC approximately $100 apiece, however, neither the recipient nor the person requesting the package pays a penny! If you have been recently diagnosed
