Nicest thing....

The nicest thing happened to me today. I was in Kohls buying my rad approved cotton bras and met a one year survivor in line. I told her I was starting my rads on Monday and she gave me a lot of encouragement and talked with me while walking out to our trucks. I told her I was impressed on how much of her hair had grown back. She got all excited and pulled out a bag of crocheted caps that she made to donate to her cancer center and wanted to give me one. This random act of kindness brought tears to eyes. I told her I would definitely pay it forward. Where would we be without these angels????

THANK YOU, Sher...
...for sharing this.
After reading on e_hope's thread the thoughtless and even cruel things that e_hope and Rague have experienced, it's SO important to hear positive stories, and to remember that there are some kind, generous people out there, too.
If you have a chance, post a picture of yourself in the cap -- it would make a very appropriate avatar, no?

I had a lumpectomy in June,lanie940 said:That is so nice! there still
That is so nice! there still are some really nice people in this world. I have had 20 RADs and I still have no burns. I was so worried, so now I have 5 more regular and 5 boosts. Did you have a lumpectomy or mastectomy?
I had a lumpectomy in June, 4 Adriamycin/Cytoxan (A/C) and could do only 1 Taxol. I'm on Herceptin every 3 weeks for a year and will start Tamoxifen soon for 5 years. I will have 35 radiation treatments with some of them being the boosts as well but can't remember how many.
I'll post a picture when I can get someone to take it and figure out how to get it from my camera to this site. lol!! I'm thrilled I can post here. -
