We're all about support. The "sisterhood" is alive and well. If it weren't for the girls I've met through the breast cancer community, I don't know how many of us would have made it. We have a bond…"

Being a survivor during October
If there's ever a time of year for a breast cancer survivor to want to hide, it's October.
Breast cancer is everywhere. Literally.And there's no escaping the sea of pink.
Five years ago, I was finishing chemo. I remember feeling like I stood out like a sore thumb. Me and my bandannas. But there was one day I blended in. It was Halloween. Instead of people looking at me thinking, "Awww, cancer patient." They were thinking, "Argh! Pirate!!"
Having breast cancer is a…

And so begins the yearly pink controversy...a rant
I read an article from Marie Claire magazine this afternoon. It's making the rounds on Facebook and the Internet. It's all about "pinkwashing," the business of breast cancer and the horrible con artists illegally and unethically profiting from our suffering. My first thought was that the article made a strong case that donating to the Pink Daisy Project was the right thing to do.
Yet what many in the breast cancer community are…

Guest Blogger Marcia: Halfway to Pinktober
Here we are in April, which means we are half way to Pinktober. Breast cancer awareness shouldn’t be confined to October though. It’s too important. Awareness shouldn’t be confined to reminders to “feel your boobies” either. Awareness messages need to tell the entire truth. What breast cancer is, what it does, what treatment consists of, and what issues survivors endure for their remaining years. This is my halfway to Pinktober reminder that…

Just the basics
Sent Ensure and a JoAnn's Fabrics gift card to a young woman in Florida who is coming to the end of her journey.
She just wants to finish her afghan first.
Her story really touched my heart. I think about all I have in my life...my health being my most valuable gift...and she has so little. I'm grateful that I have the means to help her.
I found 4 different flavors of Ensure and sent her two 6-packs of each flavor. Forty-eight cans. And I'll…

mlsspaskvan said… Thank you Debbie for the Birthday wishes, much appreciated... Celebrated another year of life! Debbie, I found you and your site on CNN... So proud of you with reaching out to other breast cancer survivors... I wish I would have found you last year when I was going through treatments, I had lost both of my jobs and faced great hardship... so I know what these women face and thank god for programs like yours... and yes, I did vote for you.
I hope you don't mind, I added a link to your story and to your website on my blog because I was really touched by your project and wanted to bring attention to your site and to what you're doing. My blog is www.mlsspaskvan.blogspot.com. Check it out when you get a chance and let me know what you think of it.
If you like my blog and want to share it, please post where you see fit.
Thank you, Melissa <3

- Thanks Debbie for the info. It helps a lot. I know what you mean losing your breasts is more emotonally devastating than physically, my daughter says she does not want to look at it, pump it out, or do wound care as she is devastated and can't even think of it so I will have to do all this for her until she gets mentally and emotionally ready. I was asking more about physical limitations so I can make her adult kids understand her limitations so we can try to get her the help she will need to help her as she has a mentally challenged daughter (mental age 8yrs.old) and 3 babies ages 2, 4, & 6 that will need cared for. I cannot make her adult kids understand that their mama will not be able to care for these babies for a while and need their help. I will keep her and the younger kids stay here for at least two weeks but they will have to understand with her going back home she will still need to go to chemo for 5 days a week and still will be needing their help with the younger kids until we see how the chemo will affect her. Any info on chemo and limitations would be appreciated hon. I will add you to my daily prayer list!

Can you set up a page or account on Linkedin.com so people can follow or show membership on their linkedin page? Just the symbol or the ability to publicize that they follow the organization will help. Thanks, Sharon

- Debbie;
I saw your story on CNN and noted that Pepsi Refesh is involved. I have to tell you that as a woman, I was touched by your story. Personally, I believe in paying t forward as well. I am in my senior year at MTSU and I have been studying Public Relations. My goal is to work in the non profit sector. As a student, I am trying to gain experience. Last year, I followed a local non profit organization and helped to build it's media kit. This was a win win for both parties as they received PR at no cost to them, and I gained experience. I would like to know if I may be of assistance with your non profit. My personal email is chefkyates@comcast.net
