- The Women's Cancer Resource Center
In 1986 all of this changed. A small
group of women with cancer created the Women's Cancer Resource Center to
provide direct services to women with cancer as well as advocate for broad
changes in the health care system. For the first two years, the Center was
simply an answering machine in someone's living room. A committee of twenty
women took turns answering calls, mostly from women with recent cancer
diagnoses seeking information and support.
