The Breast Cancer Network of Strength, formerly Y-ME, is committed to providing support to anyone who has been touched by breast cancer. Network of Strength was founded by two breast cancer patients in 1978, when they realized that their needs for information and support could best be met by women who had experienced breast cancer. Since the beginning, Network of Strength has served women with breast cancer and their families and friends through their national hotline, open-door groups, early detection workshops, and local chapters. The YourShoes 247 Support Center provides interpreters in 150 languages.
