Such a difference has been made over the past years. I remember when I entered the hospital for mine, there was a sweet lady there to meet me with a bag full of goodies and reassure me about what I would be going through. Every person I encountered was kind to me. You are one of those and I love your pink scarf project. Praying your friend Donna will continue to do well. She is blessed to have you as friend.

We all suffer physically, emotionally and monetary, anguish and are changed for ever. The drugs are very expensive like you said as I have witnessed first hand but when your life depends on it you are left with no other choice. Having cancer is like having your back to a brick wall with a firing squad in front of you. <br /><br />Hugs,<br />JB <br /><br /><br />The Pink Scarf project is a worthy one and I'll be glad to do another one <br /> Cancer is a horrible disease that needs to be address at the base level. How do we get it in the first place?<br /><br />It's our immune system that is all screwed up with all the chemical that is present in the food we eat, the stuff we drink and breath etc. It's our lifestyles, the chemicals that are presents in our home, cars and on our skin.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br />Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03423754263165266554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948073544976029742.post-87947694646817429362014-01-17T09:02:50.903-05:002014-01-17T09:02:50.903-05:00Such a touching and heartfelt post.

The reality is tough, and the Scarves make the patients understand that they are not alone and some one else is willing to be there for them. <br /><br />I hope that your wish of getting rid of cancer all together comes true. One day, some day is what we can ask for.
