IMPACT REPORT 2018 Dear Friends and Supporters of Living Beyond Breast Cancer, We opened 2018 with Living Beyond Breast Cancer (LBBC) listening to the stories of women diagnosed with breast cancer.

By listening, we gained many insights of those who Connecting shared their experiences from that dark moment of first hearing the words, “You have breast cancer,” and all the other times that followed, including: the frustrations of waiting for tests, the emotions of finally receiving results, and the challenges of understanding this disease while trying to make informed decisions and manage side effects. Many also told us they gained a new appreciation for friends, family people with and colleagues who offered love and support during difficult as well as celebratory times. This Impact Report provides a glance of LBBC by the numbers. Please remember that behind each of these numbers is an individual who faces a frightening and significant health challenge.
