MSDBC is a national nonprofit
organization co-founded by a mother (Charmayne Dierker) and her daughter
(Lillie
Shockney) in March 1995. The support services provided by this
organization are free and
are designed to help mothers who have daughters battling breast
cancer. Support is provided in a variety of ways including one on one
support by mother
volunteers who have had firsthand experienced the trauma and challenges
of having a
daughter diagnosed with breast cancer, through distribution of a
mother's handbook and
daughter's companion brochure to provide guidance as to how a mother can
be
constructively helpful to her daughter during her breast cancer
treatment, and through
requests for education about the disease and its treatment when
questions arise related to
basic medical questions about this disease and how surgery and adjuvant
therapy work.
