Hope - 9 days ...

Battling breast cancer can take an emotional toll on everyone involved - from the diagnosed to her family members. Inspiration can run short and comfort is in high demand.

Whether you are a survivor, a warrior or a family member, hang in there, and never give up hope.

What has helped me is knowing there are others out there who are going through the same thing.



9 days until my mastectomy ...

"Hope" is the thing with feathers—
That perches in the soul—
And sings the tune without the words—
And never stops — at all...
~Emily Dickinson (1861)

Even before my diagnosis, I found comfort and strength in Eleanor Roosevelt. For me, she is a pillar of strength!

"You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do." - Eleanor Roosevelt

To all of the women who are battling breast cancer ... live to win! You are NOT alone.

Keep hope where it is easily accessible for those moments that are too much to bear.

And remember you are not alone.

Hope!
