Hi!
My name is Laura. Last year I started a group called Chemo Angels, and I would like to tell you a bit about
it. We are a volunteer group dedicated to adding a
ray of sunshine to the lives of those undergoing
treatment for cancer. We believe that men, women and
children who are going through the physical, emotional
and mental rigors of chemotherapy and/or radiation
therapy deserve some pampering and special treatment!
Here is how it works! If you are a cancer patient who is about to begin, or has begun treatment, we will send you a questionaire to
fill out which will give us an idea as to what sort
of surprises would brighten your day and lighten your
heart. You will be "adopted" by a Chemo Angel who,
through small gifts, cards, encouraging notes, etc...
will be your angel for the duration of your course of
treatment.
Money is never solicited from patients, nor are financial gifts accepted from
them. This is strictly a labor of love.
Please feel free to contact me with any
questions you may have.
Sincerely,
Laura Armstrong
Founder and Director

HI!! My name is Sherry, and in March, I was diagnosed with tonsilar cancer. It's strange considering I don't smoke, and I've never had a problem with my tonsils as a child. I'm
