Annette:

Support groups are very, very helpful because this is the disease that has a lot of myths associated with it. We’ve had too many women die from the disease, and the treatments have been very, very, very tough. But it has changed in the last few years. So our ability to help women have a better quality of life is dramatically different than it was five years ago, ten years ago, certainly twenty years ago when your grandmother had it.

Support groups surround women with information.
