We don’t accomplish anything in this world alone ... and whatever happens is the result of the whole tapestry of one’s life and all the weavings of individual threads from one to another that creates something.

It is truly a pleasure to introduce the Fourth Edition of the Breast Cancer Resource Directory of North Carolina. It seems like only yesterday (12 years ago to be exact) that Jamie Konarski Davidson came to Susan Jackson and the staff of the Carolina Breast Cancer Study, asking us to partner with her in creating the First Edition of the Directory. We welcomed Jamie's offer wholeheartedly.

We are proud to present the Fourth Edition of the Breast Cancer Resource Directory of North Carolina. The Resource Directory offers “one-stop shopping” for those seeking breast cancer information and resources. It combines the expertise of medical professionals with the personal experience of breast cancer survivors.
