January 2013 President's Corner
CELEBRATING 20 YEARS By Pat Halpin-Murphy, President & Founder We have had a lot to celebrate since 1993! The PBCC has been a part of groundbreaking research, legislation, education and outreach. And we could never have done it without our incredible survivors and supporters. When I think back on the 20 years since founding the PBCC on July 17, 1993, I am proud and thankful.

Survivor Stories
SCARLETT GIBBS CHESTER COUNTY When I was diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer, the oncologist told me that I had only four months to live.
