My Nonprofit Reviews

My dear 1st cousin was diagnosed with stage 3 grade 3 invasive carcinoma of the breast. She always believed in early detection and went every year on time for her routine mammogram. This July her journey to survive started and she has shared daily her progress, experience and feelings publicly. She has so far had over 1,000 visits and post that have inspired her and brought her courage by way of their inspiration. During her work up prior to starting chemotherapy she had a PET scan, which shows if there has been any other organs affected. During this they found a spot on her kidney which also proved to be cancer. Both were primary sites, non related to each other. Since the breast was the fastest growing type of cancer and the kidney was the slowest they decided to jump on the breast aggressively with chemo and then follow with radiation. The chemo is different for each site so the chemo for her breast will not help her kidney. She has just finished her 3rd treatment and has posted her day to day emotions,, fears, concerns, an experiences for all her friends and loved ones to see and respond. She always looks so forward to reading her guest book and has never felt such an out pouring of love from others. The post inspire an encourage her to realize she is not alone and keeps her spirits up. She thanks God everyday that Caring Bridge is available to her and gives her strength to carry on. She now believes she doesn't have a death sentence but a survivor sentence that she can carry on and help others on here going through a difficult time. Thank you Care Bridge for allowing her a place to vent her day to day recovery.
