So many of our 'brave' Sisters in PINK are in the midst of endless chemo, recurrence, questionable lumps, a pending biopsy, WBC problems, weaken immune systems, difficulty walking or standing, and FEAR of the unknown.

I would also like to include all our newbies, as well.

I adore and love each and every one of you 'brave' WARRIORS --

Circling the Wagon's for Strength, Courage and Hope.

    Thank you, Vicki
    With all I have been reading here lately--we need this vigil to remain strong, brave and confident. The posts on all the recurrences have been very frightening to me and have left me sad and lonely again.

    I will join all of you in prayer and the lighting of a candle here in Phoenix at noon my time.

    Warm hugs,

    Renee

    Thanks so much for doing this!
    I should be finishing my endometrial biopsy around then, or still be at it, so that will give me something to do to take my mind off of it...I hope.

    Thanks again, and I will be thinking of all of the brave Pink Warriors at that time today,

    I too
    will join the vigil this afternoon. I have been a bit unnerved by all that's been going on with our pink sisters. As I prepare to have my "angel wings" removed next week I keep counting my blessings that's all I have to worry about. I see my onc next month and pray that nothing has changed. My heart goes out to each and every pink sister fighting this battle.

    Our vigil started today at 3:00 PST .... hoping to continue
    our prayers and candles for the next 7 days! At least that's my plan. No matter what time zone we find ourselves in, continued prayers and rays of hope continuing on for our Sisters in need.

    Awesome idea.. I feel so
    Awesome idea.. I feel so helpless in trying to support all of our dear pink sisters. I'll have my candle lit every night as soon as I get home from work. Off to light it now...

    Loving thoughts and prayers to all those kindreds deep in the battle...

    Great Idea
    What the heck... my comments didn't post! Here it goes... attempt number 2.

    Vicki your idea couldn't have come at a better time. Yes, so it seems a number of Survivors are undergoing grueling harsh realities that range from recurrences to biopsies and so on. It is very disconcerting and upsetting.

    Maybe we can try again for another set time and date. It feel good to know that we can do something positive for one another.

    Thanks for spearheading the idea.

    Take care, God bless.
