I want to share another blog of note by an AMAZING women. Carrie Robinson has provided me with inspiration, laughs, and leaves me amazed by her spirit in the fight against her cancer.
Carrie is a young adult cancer survivor and fighter. She is the founder of Midwest R.E.A.C.H. Project (Regional Education, Awareness & Cancer Helps Project). The objective of the organization is to reduce cancer incidence and mortality in the target states by reaching those populations most in need of resources and education in prevention, early detection, treatment, rehabilitation and palliation.
In her “spare” time, Carrie is training for her first triathlon in 2010! Read more about Carrie in her own words , and learn more about her efforts to change the world one person at a time.
LIVESTRONG Carrie and good luck in Austin!

Hi Kairol,
I loved this posting!! After my treatment for breast cancer was “done,” I found it difficult to go back to a life of normalcy, whatever “normal” meant. Your advice on getting back into the swing of things is great.
Going through treatments was very tough, but I had a regimented schedule. Life after cancer has been tougher, although the first year was the hardest.
Anyway, kudos to a fellow blogger whose voice needs to be heard.
Hi Sally! I love your blog and would love to talk to you about your story!
Hello,
I’d like to introduce you to three amazing women – Julie, Michelle and Glenda – all cancer survivors. They have “Chosen to Smile” as they have dealt with life’s struggles. Now they have written an amazing book called “Choosing to Smile” that will be published in early 2010. In preparation they have launched a Facebook page and invite you to join the worldwide “Choosing to Smile” movement.
You are invited to http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=146031228952&ref=nf

I highly enjoyed reading this post, keep up posting such interesting stuff.
Hi there all, I had a mamogram which showed nothing but
I had grade 3 breast Cancer, had the test the day before Christmas and went away on holiday thinking I was a dead girl walking and this would be my last holiday. That was 2 years ago now. I read your stories thank you for sharing, it gives hope to all, thought I had it bad but you made me see we are not alone. I had grade 3 breast cancer went through the Chemo badly collapsing twice then the op and rad. The treatments nearly killed me and I am still in pain all the time two years down the line. But in all the thick of it I visited a web site called http://www.healthwise-global.com read their stories and bought a CD which helped me every day that I listened to it. From time to time I still take it out when I feel low and it helps. I done the walk for life and will be doing it again this year. My way of saying thank you for still being here
Thanks you for sharing your story visit the web site see my story there

I agree, a loss is a loss. One person is a unit of a whole. Ask the mother that hold the son or daughter she has just lost to Cancer what is worst.
All life lost is tragic
I lost my beloved mother to Cancer and my daughter almost lost me her mother to Cancer
sorry guys left out the important bit http://www.healthwise-global. com do vist there help out there if you know where to look
Hi Sally, looking forward to new and exciting things from you
breast cancer is of course easy to diagnose early and very easy to treat if you catch it early~~-
I would love to hear the follow-up to the success of this movement!
