Letter from the Foundation after I'd signed up:

Thank you for signing up for the Health of Women (HOW) Study, the first ever online cohort study of breast cancer! Please make sure you keep your HOW password and login in a secure location. If you lose your login or password, please use this link to retrieve the information.

By signing up for the HOW Study, you will be asked to complete periodic questionnaires which will focus on different health and exposure topics. We will send you periodic "Call-to-Action" emails inviting you to take part in a new questionnaire. We will also ask that you let us know when you change e-mail addresses or move so we don't lose touch with you.

We plan to follow members of HOW over time, which will allow us to track lifestyles, environmental exposures and other potential causes of breast cancer. Because of the need to follow our members over time, it takes some time to generate any concrete results. However, we will share any interesting information we gather with our members as soon as we are able.

You are free to drop out of the study at any time. To withdraw from participation, you will need to log in to your account by going to http://www.healthofwomenstudy.org.

You can also encourage all of your friends and family members to take part in the HOW Study. Simply click this link to refer a friend.

We would love to hear from you and get feedback about your experience using the Health of Women Study website. This survey should take no longer than 10 minutes. To take part in the survey, please click here http://www.zoomerang.com/Survey/WEB22GMG2L5PRT.



Thank you again for signing up and helping us move breast cancer beyond a cure!

Sincerely,
Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation

Re: 'HOW' survey by Army of Women
 

I have signed up for and done the first survey already. Then I emailed every woman I have contact with, encouraging them to do the same, as women over 18 who have not had cancer can join too. I think that one benefit will be for these women, that the questions will raise warning bells re factors known or hypothesized to have a link with breast cancer. Maybe then they will do more research, and focus on prevention, e.g., by avoiding alcohol, having more physical activity, nursing their babies, etc.

I have so much respect for Dr Susan Love... her book on breast health and cancer is my favourite of all my books, my bible, so to speak!

Thanks for the outreach effort. I really hope more of our Her2 sisters on this Board will participate and help spread the word.
