By Maria Montanile
I miss my nipple
It sailed away
To another island
Another bay,
It used to sit there
On a squishy globe
Now it sank
Into a hole
I miss my nipple
It used to be
So pink and bright
and very spongy
Goodbye, my chum,
I have discovered,
I’m happy now
Don’t need another

Surviving Breast Cancer provides breast cancer support, events, and webinars at no cost to you! Whether you are looking to gain more knowledge on a particular topic or meet up with other breast cancer survivors, we have something for everyone.
Our standing appointment on Thursdays is for all stages. We also host specific breakout groups once a month for specific stages and subtypes such as Metastatic breast cancer, and Inflammatory Breast Cancer, etc.
The Book Club meets the first Sunday of every month at 11 am ET. You are welcome to join each month or pick and choose your month based on your availability and the book we are reading.
Through art, writing, and other creative modalities, we hold the power to manage our stress, make sense of our now, and relax into moments of stillness.
