Produced by employees at Providence Mt St Vincent in Portland, this video will cheer you up and perhaps inspire you to think about pink gloves as a happy thing! Their purpose was breast cancer awareness-pass it on!

Six more days of Breast Cancer Awareness Month! The first time I had cancer, there were no pink ribbons,

Danskin triathlons, no tamoxifen or test for the breast cancer gene mutations, no Race for the Cure, no Susan Love books; the Susan G. Komen Foundation had been established, but I didn’t know about it.  No internet either.

No Save Second Base or the site I found last week-Save the TaTa’s!

How did I do my research back then? (more…)

Bonus quote of the week!

I miss Molly Ivins’ humor and speaking truth to power. Here is how she began an essay in Time magazine  (2-18-02 issue) about cancer:

Having breast cancer is massive amounts of no fun. First they mutilate you; then they poison you; then they burn you. I have been on blind dates better than that.

Been there, done that, got the (pink) T-shirt.

Would Molly Ivins be involved in the health care reform debate right now? Yes, and I would love to know what she would have said.

Today I am speaking in public about some humorous things I have learned from being a cancer survivor. More on that later. And it is October 1st. It’s the first day of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Or the pink month……
