When someone in your life has been diagnosed with breast cancer, knowing what to say or how to help can be extremely difficult. We know you don't want to say the wrong thing.

Deciding what option is best is complicated, and when the question of what to do about the nips is tossed in the mix, it can be overwhelming.
