To Whom it may Concern....

To whom it may concern: I feel funny writing that… because it seems as though almost no one is actually really and truthfully concerned with Lung Cancer besides people who are diagnosed, family members, caregivers, a small group of advocates, and the doctors and nurses who actually treat lung cancer on a daily basis. Sad right? In my book yes! See the truth is….Lung Cancer kills more people than breast, prostate, colon, pancreatic, and liver cancers COMBINED… Yet, it is the least funded of all of all major cancer. This is unacceptable and I will not let it hold me down anymore. Lung Cancer is the number 1 cancer killer of men and women in this nation. Believe it or not it’s not breast for women… and it’s not prostate for men. While I would never sit here and argue that one cancer type is better than another I will bring up a very shocking fact… Breast cancer has an 85% five year survival rate! That’s amazing and shows how much progress they have made in science for breast cancer resea...

Text Message....

I just got a text from my godbrother who recently lost his grandmother to breast cancer, and I wanted to share it with yall.

I work in cancer care and give every breathing second to cancer in some way. You know I actually admire what the breast cancer movement has done over the past 40 years by increasing survival ...

Memorial Day Monday

Image
I work in healthcare and often times on days when the rest of the world has the day off, we are expected to be at work or to take PTO. Normally I just decide to go into work because its actually pretty peaceful and I am able to get a lot done compared to normal days when I am constantly interrupted. However, I decided to take PTO this past Monday and I am so thankful that I did. I didn't realize how bad I needed just one extra day to relax and catch up around the house. Robert and I decided to sleep in late. We don't get to do this often and actually we both were up pretty early because we are so used to being up early. I've been dying to try the new smoothie place called "Juice Vibes"--- believe it or not, this is a big deal for a place like Greenville. There is only one other smoothie place in town and their smoothies are filled with tons of sugar and not a ton of fresh fruit. Juice Vibes has nutrient dense fruit and veggie smoothies and they are awesome!!! I ...
