The foremost advice that I can give to anyone battling this disease is "Please don't stick your head in a hole and let fear rule you!" Find out as much as you can about your type of cancer. Knowledge will help you make good decisions about your care; you must keep the dialogue open with your doctors and care givers. You have choices, and you must make the best decisions possible for your own good care. I have encountered too many patients that are scared and want to leave all the decisions to their doctors. A positive, fighting attitude is one of your best tools. You are worth all the effort that you can muster to get well. I could say many more things, but suffice it to say, "Don't check out" and "Keep in there pitchin'!"
I have several items in my shop (including the quilt pictured in my banner) that a portion of the proceeds goes to benefit BC patients and fund more research. I sometimes wear a cuff like the one above to bring awareness to the cause. I am blessed and want to bring awareness and encouragement.

Wearing one of your cuffs is a great way to spread awareness and start conversations about BC Awareness! I love that it's reversible!

I'm so glad you are a survivor!!
I know way too many people who've had breast cancer. Most of them are survivors. Right now, there is a 32 year old woman at my church who has a late stage aggressive breast cancer. She has two little kids. She's undergoing chemo to shrink the tumor in the hopes that it will become operable. She doesn't know if she'll survive.
This saddens my heart.
I have a shirt in my shop which when it sells, I'll give 50% of the profits to breast cancer research. I've been able to donate a bit through this.
