Looks like we have a number of similar friends on FB... all great ladies!<br />Keep on keeping on!<br />-KellyKelly Joppahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02150991429553003561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6968663039945383915.post-78732257835406920302012-03-06T00:10:07.206-08:002012-03-06T00:10:07.206-08:00Hi Renae,
Nice to meet you and thank you for your...Hi Renae, <br />Nice to meet you and thank you for your kind words. I wish you the best on your journey. The days are soooo hard, but trust that the end will come and you will be living and vibrant again. I am just 1 week out from my last treatment and I feel free and whole. On some of the worst days I just wanted to cry life away. I had a friend that kept annoyingly singing "The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow" and you know what... she was right. You can do this!!! It's the fight of your life... and you can do it. One day at a time. One treatment at a time. One minute at a time. Take each day, hour, minute at a time... you can do this. <br />Hugs,<br />KellyKelly Joppahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02150991429553003561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6968663039945383915.post-67045349712912177832012-02-25T12:02:16.261-08:002012-02-25T12:02:16.261-08:00Agreed.

You said it.<br /><br />Hey, I don't know if you're open to this, but I've started going to a Hollistsic Dentist just because of all the damage the metal in our mouths can cause to our bodies. One of the articles I read talks about how scientists are finding that root canals might be a cause to breast cancer. You can read it if you like. http://naturaldentistry.us/category/hot-dental-controversies/root-canal-controversy/<br />I have 3 root canals I need to get removed. <br /><br />Anyways, sending prayers your way from the Marta family.Sharon & Jacobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00342634418115664052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6968663039945383915.post-14728544740515041762012-02-25T11:19:26.743-08:002012-02-25T11:19:26.743-08:00Kelly….seriously your post should go to the Susan ...Kelly….seriously your post should go to the Susan B Komen Foundation. I was horrified when Kylie came home with a bracelet the other day that said "save the boobies". It now resides in a landfill somewhere. Thank you for putting the true face of cancer on your blog, and teaching those of us that experience it through your own pain.

My blog started out as http://goodnewscolumn.blogspot.com then turned into a journey of my cancer. Your words resonate with mine...the dumbing down of our feelings by "pink." I am looking forward to spending the next part of my journey (chemo) reading all of your posts. I think honesty is the only true path to awareness. ~Renae~renaedarlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14430692292916265420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6968663039945383915.post-60118793059289342512012-02-24T11:09:08.397-08:002012-02-24T11:09:08.397-08:00AMEN sister!!

When the movie comes out, I'd love to join you.<br />We didn't get to know each other at Bayside Auburn, Bob and I had moved on before you and I were diagnosed. My journey started in Jan 2011, if I recall you were shortly after?<br />If you ever want to talk or get together message me on fb and we'll exchange info.<br />God Bless you!
