Small Steps
Girls, my letter to the editor of 'Lifeline', a Y-Me National Breast Cancer Organization quarterly magazine was published. It was in regards to a male breast cancer survivors letter about making awareness possible. The Editor wrote the statistics underneath, which I adored the gesture, my ultimate goal. The estimated number of new cases for women are down 16% and the rate for men are UP 15% from last year.
I want to thank all my friends here at HER2support for the love, support and prayers. I especially want to thank everyone for allowing me to speak here and voice my feelings and concerns. You all have accepted me with open arms as a caregiver not the patient. You have given advice, smiles, hope, prayers. I am empowered by your strength, your wisdom, your warrior fight. I could never do this caregiver role as well as I do without my GIRLS!! An entire lifetime could go by and I would never be able to thank you.
Please read the Letters to the Editor of the 'Lifeline' Y-Me magazine if you recieve the publication. If you do not get the magazine, I strongly recommend that you look into recieving it, a small but good read.
I love and pray each day for all of my ANGELS here each and every day and hope that I can give to you an iota back of all you give to us!!>Waiting For A Miracle> Believe51...(Marie G)
