When treatment ends, it's like crossing the finish line of a marathon with a flood of emotions. For me, I felt an amazing sense of relief, gratitude and happiness. I experienced a feeling of joy that I believed would never leave me......but it did......

Their bond extended beyond cancer they cried together, and celebrated every victory as a family. The sisterhood provided comfort in the darkest of times and helped each other embrace life's beauty with new appreciation....

Preparing for your first chemotherapy infusion can be overwhelming. I didn't know what to bring or where to start. There were of course the necessary items as directed by the doctor. I soon realized comfort items would be essential and getting though the difficult treatments. We have put together a list of common items to consider.

I dodged the many calls, texts, emails and messaging through social media. I didn’t want to talk abo ut me, cancer and anything in between. I drifted into avoidance and depression. My life as I knew it was spinning out of control. People reached out and I ran the other way. I didn’t want pity or to deal with others emotions and I certainly didn’t want to tell my horrific story over and over again.
