I’m the first of many, many generations of women in my family to have breast cancer (including my identical twin sister). So there was no matriarch to turn to or Auntie to ask questions to. Foundations like these have been imperative in educating myself with the accurate information I need. But it has been the kindness & compassion that have forever changed my mission. I want to pass on to another scared & confused woman one day, the gift of support that was given to me. I love you ladies!!!

I have no other choice but to FIGHT. I have 7 children and WE DON’T GIVE UP AROUND HERE!

My auntie fought breast cancer for 30 years, my best friend had breast cancer, and my sister-in-law just found out, too. Now, my neighbor. To all the women in my life, and those I don’t yet know, you are loved, you are prayed over, your boobs don’t define your life. With or without boobs is one thing… with or without YOU is another. Love my Sisters.

I was so happy and surprised to receive a HOPE Kit from National Breast Cancer Foundation! The gift truly touched my heart. When I opened the box, I was overwhelmed by all the beautiful and thoughtful items inside. I am deeply grateful for such a generous and uplifting gift. Thank you for bringing hope and kindness into my life. -Liz

Thank you so much for the HOPE Kit. It brightened my day. I was diagnosed this year. It’s been a journey. But my family, friends, and God have kept me strong.

Never forget to give warmth to yourself in this unknown waiting period, cry, allow feeling all emotions, hug and know we are not alone. Be selective, choose wisely with whom you share your bad news with, receiving authentic compassion from others is soothing and healing for our nervous system. My prayers goes out to each and every one of us dealing with this cancer disease in our waiting & unknown phases throughout the journey. Carpe Diem.

An abnormality in my mammogram just seemed to be something to get on with and check off my list. Little did I know that it wasn't a "regular" abnormality and this time it had the word malignant attached to the medical information in my web portal. I have had so much support and prayers from my family, friends, church family, work family and even customers when I've shared my story. I decided to not hide but to put out on my social media what was going on. My friends rallied behind me and I could feel their prayers during the surgery for my lumpectomy, recovery and now my radiation treatments. I have stopped saying I'm lucky because my mass was caught early and now say I'm blessed that it was caught early. I have a promising prognosis and am so very thankful for that and will use my voice to encourage women to make sure they get those routine mammograms.

My fight against cancer and my late mother’s loss to the disease has truly been a humbling experience and continues to challenge me. We need to stay strong and united and help while we live. Let’s fight for clean air and water too! Happy Memorial Day!
Amy
This is a simple saying but I find that I need this reminder often. “It’s OK not to be OK!” I tend to feel like I’m not doing enough, I want to do all the chores and show up for everyone and everything still. Reminding myself that it’s ok to say no to things. It’s ok if the laundry isn’t done and most importantly it’s ok if all I do some days is nothing at all!
Trudy
My journey has been the most humbling experience. I knew I was loved, but the extent of that love only became apparent when I was diagnosed. My family, my friends, my community rallied around me. It was hard to accept the help at first, but people want to help, let them!! Take the time to cry but take the time to laugh as well. Life goes on… I am a stronger person because of my breast cancer and you will be too!! Stay strong, fellow warriors.

A breast cancer diagnosis hits hard but don't give up, don't give in. People may "cancer ghost" you, but God and his Angels will be with you. I pray that all who are fighting this horrible disease fight hard.
Arlene
I’m at the end of my Breast Cancer Adventure. Keep a notebook and ask a lot of questions! Stay positive, stay determined, stay informed & stay strong! It does help a lot to have a very supportive family! You’ve got this!
Katherine
Fill yourself first, and what is overflowing is for your family & friends. Stay positive.

Cancer taught me that pain is inevitable but suffering is a choice. In kindness, there is strength. In love, there is comfort. In stillness, there is hope. Be the light you need, you can do this!
