Thank You Ann for the article I read in today's Bee forum section. Thank You for writing it and thank the Bee for printing it. Although I don't know exactly what your are going through, I can tell you that I have lost two siblings to the BIG C. It was heart wrenching, I do know that. Your courage and commitment to LIVE while your feet and legs can still get you around is a beautiful thing and I commend your willingness to tell and spread the truth, especially about the BIG C Industry! Peace be with you, and when the time comes may your spirit sore the heights of to the farthest reaches of the Universe. I tell you, it will be sublime and beautiful there.

Any donation made will go towards my son's college education. Be warned, there is no tax deduction here, consider it like buying a book, a continually updated but unedited book. A small percentage of what I receive yearly will go to StandUp2Cancer. Consider it entirely voluntary, I love you whether you donate or not. Now click.
I live with metastatic breast cancer. .
I was diagnosed 2009 with Stage 2 Her2+ breast cancer. Mastectomy followed, 6 rounds of chemo and a year of herceptin. A few months after I finished, cancer was found in my liver-incurable. I've done chemo after chemo, has my liver partially removed and did cyber knife radiation. Like all metsters, I'll be on treatment until I die.
I'm a former High School Secretary, wife, and mother of two great sons.
