I’ve loved this site and the women on it, but feel torn that it is used for profit to drug companies. Any other truely supportive sites out there? I am not on Facebook and do not like community.breastcsncer.org ( too difficult to navigate).

Unfortunately most everything related to breast cancer and "pink" is for profit of large corporations. Dealing with this illness during breast cancer awareness month has been awful. You can't escape it for a minute. Who knows where these profits or "donations" go.

Taking off Robyn’s post was a disgrace. They don’t want bad publicity for implants.

I have a non profit and we are not beholden to anyone except our 3 board members who volunteer for no money. Find Breast Connect Knoxville on FB. You will find amazing support from women who have gone thru what you all have. See you there ❤️

Thanks @A MyBCTeam Member. I haven’t given up on the site just yet...I really need the connections with others. Maybe a little break. I know it takes money to run sites and pharma does need feedback. I truely believe anything done online is not a guarantee of privacy. It just made me so angry Robyn is being sensored. People should simply block her.

@A MyBCTeam Member what makes you think that? You can see more about the company that runs this site here: https://www.myhealthteams.com/about/

The are privately held, venture capital backed. They do have partners shown here: https://www.myhealthteams.com/partnerships/

I have worked in online tech for over 20 years. A site like this cannot exist without backing. And you can see they run a huge network. That all costs money.

I can see that they do partner with pharma, but not to profit. For example: https://medcitynews.com/2017/06/myhealthteams-r...

I was on MyRATeam.com long before this one. It has always been a good place for me to share and meet others. I haven't found anything egregious about MyHealthTeams that makes me want to stop sharing with people like me.

I'm sorry you feel that there is something going on with MyHealthTeams that you cannot get behind that is so weighted you would give up connecting with other BC girls. I am seriously sad about that. :(
