Before You Donate
Think very seriously before donating to any breastcancer organization, or fundraising program until you read their Annual Report to see who their top contributors are, and if they have a product that appears frequently in the message the organization sends to the public. That would be unethical and its illegal. The same applies to a request that the public buys products, but does not receive a "donor receipt" for tax-deductible purpose. Read any and all food labels that breastcancer "non-profits" are promoting to raise money. Some organizations tell the public to help them raise money by asking you to visit their websites, but that only gives them "hits" to increase their sponsors.
Another tip, "signing" an online Petition is not acceptable, so don't fall for such antics. An ethical non-profit, or professional will not request your visit to their website, nor use "cookies" placed on your computer when you visit their site.
Purchase the Breastcancer Postage Stamp, the Post Office will always give you your charitable deduction receipt. Its a valid form of fund raising.
This page is being initiated again, for those who have requested our thoughts, prayers, or assistance as they move through their own experience with cancer. . . or other pain brought on during their journey. The names on the former list, are doing well, now, unless they care to update us. Ronnee's memorial list may be found at Ronnee's Breast Cancer Page
For those new to this journey, time alone is important; different sounds: water, tones, melodies; writing you feelings, thoughts, concerns, questions for your doctors, and your memories. Sometimes, when we are very ill, memories return to us, and they have to be dealt with, but until one is stronger it is best to have the loving, accepting, protective, professional care of a psychiatrist or psychologist. For me, my entire team provide support however, each physician does so in his/her own unique way.
One I can pray with, one easily and without fear, cry about my fears, for example, and the others 'know' that I've had to deal with something else at this time, as well. Life? It just isn't fair at times, and it isn't because anyone is strong, and can deal with it, or just has fantastic luck - none of these are answers. It is just life - like it or not. No one gives this to us, nor does anyone "let it happen." However, working through this journey, you will find that you find a new strength within youself, and you will change, never be the same person again - so be prepared for that!
Replicated
research has proven that even thinking about someone helps them, even if
they do not know about it! And, only in silence may breast
cancer continue! Therefore, one of this web site's users, and a survivor
herself, has offered to be the spiritual resource person for anyone who
would care to contact her. Please just send your e-mail Subject Line:

Often, we FORGET the trials, the pains, the tribulations when a journey nears its end. Please take heed, as you move on, don't forget this massacre. Remember what our famous poet said:
"There are voices which we hear in solitude,
but they grow faint and inaudible as we enter into the world (Emerson)."Do not let this happen to you! Please, do not forget us, our fears, our painful journeys, our forced dependence on you, as survivors, doctors, researchers, CEOs, philanthropists!
Send us your prayers, your energized thoughts, your images - our protons reach out from the atoms within our bodies, and somewhere, someplace, most likely at random, unite. Then help us reach out to others, to show them the way to find medical care, comfortably, and confidently.
