Women with breast cancer can feel like they are on a roller coaster of emotions when it comes to making decisions about treatments or surgeries. Some women may feel overwhelmed with emotions like anger, depression, anxiety, but they also talk about hope, optimism, and joy. As women go through these challenging times, receiving and giving support becomes essential.

On MyBCTeam, the social network and online support group for women facing breast cancer, members talk about a range of personal experiences and struggles. The many emotions (both the highs and the lows) that come with living with breast cancer is one of the frequent topics members discuss.
