The Ellen Shaw de Paredes Breast Cancer Foundation is aware that there are many resources available for those with breast cancer.  This list of resources was compiled to help the patient and family members as they deal with breast cancer.  Many of these books are available in public libraries throughout the state of Virginia thanks to a library grant program supported by the Virginia Breast Cancer Foundation.  Thanks to the Virginia Breast Cancer Foundation for allowing us to share their recommended library resources on our website.
