Pink66
Hi Ladies.
As most of you will now be aware Sharon (Pink66) has had a major stay in hospital and has not been very well. She is now home and stable but I thought it might be our turn to support her.
When I was first diagnosed at the beginning of this year, Pink66's posts and blogs helped me through some very dark days, her stories of her apartment building and the squatters bought a smile to my face when I was very down and dark about my new diagnosis. One thing in particular she said to me and others was "you were never going to walk the wall of China so don't mope now about never doing it - get on with what you can do and enjoy every minute", this statement itself pulled me out of a day of dark misery.
I honestly do not think I would have coped as well as what I did nor would I have picked myself up and carried on with my Uni studies had it not been for Sharon's upbeat attitude and sensible suggestions on how to get on with living with Metastatic Breast cancer.
Time I think for us to return the favour! I have been talking to Ann-Marie from BCNA and we have decided that if those of us that want to, send Ann-Marie a personal message via this discussion board for Pink66 and she will collate them, print them out and place them inside a Thinking of You card and she will deliver these to Sharon on our behalf. If those that want to contribute could do so within the next week so that Ann-Marie can get this organised and get it over to Sharon. (so all messages sent by next Tuesday 1st of November.
I feel it is important for us to support each other as much as possible with this shitty chronic disease and anything we can do to make each other smile has got to be of help with us living each day as we do.
cheers all

- Hi Sharon, I heard you speak in Melbourne last year at a secondary breast cancer forum. I was diagnosed about 3 weeks before. I arrived at the forum with absolutely no hope waiting to die but after hearing your story and listening to your words of wisdom I walked out believing that I have still got a lot to live for. Everyday I am grateful for the time that I have. I live in the moment thanks to you and your inspiring speech. You are a credit to the online forum and I wish you all the best. We are all walking with you - one turtle step at a time. We can do it together!
