Pink Saturday Dog & Cancer Survivor

When I spotted these two dressed as Piglet and Pooh, and the little guy in Pink, I thought you might get a chuckle. Neither dog is mine; I copied this picture from the internet.

Everyone has been touched by the horrible disease of cancer. October is all about breast cancer. It seems that the world is saturated with Pink. We are all praying for a cure.




I am an Ovarian Cancer survivor. It's known as the silent killer as symptoms are often vague. It grows undetected, and few of its victims survive.

Teal blue is the color of the ovarian cancer ribbon.



Twenty-one years ago, I had a mass the size of a grapefruit removed, along with all the rest of my "lady parts." It had not metastasized. Although I had to visit an oncologist for five years, I never had to go through chemo or radiation.

No matter what color, I am truly a blessed woman.

Handpainted Pink Goblets

I went to a local jeweler to have a pin repaired and spotted this display in the window. Johnny took the picture, but it is hard to see much because of the shine of the glass.




Debbie, a pleasant lady who works inside the jewelry shop put the display together. She's recently had an experience with breast cancer, and she is the one who painted the glasses. They sell for $20 each and a portion of the proceeds go to support a cure for Breast Cancer.

Debbie's friend wrote the poem.

A Toast To Your Life

Breast Cancer is real and among us.
You can beat and overcome it.
For you are strong and you are alive.
This glass is a toast to your life.

Come what may, don’t lose faith,
For look how far you’ve come.
Look forward and treasure each moment.
This glass is a toast to your life.

Filled with love, hugs, and kisses,
This is a drink of well-wishes,
Of healing and the power to overcome.
This glass is a toast to your life.

A Story with A Happy Ending

Nineteen years ago, I had a hysterectomy to remove what the doctor described as "something that must come out." Turned out, it was a grapefruit-sized ovarian cancerous tumor!

I am a fortunate person; I never knew I had cancer until it was removed. I never had any symptoms.

I visited an oncologist for the following five years. The day of my fifth anniversary of the surgery, I celebrated! According to the oncologist, I was cancer-free! He and I said good-bye.

I made an appointment for that anniversary date with Dr. Erik N. Freling, my GYN, the man who discovered and removed the tumor, thereby saving my life. I commissioned one of my students to paint a dripping wet life preserver leaning on a dock. I had the artist label the life preserver with my name and my doctor's name. I titled the painting, Lifesaver, and I presented it to him on that most important day--July 9th. He placed it on his office wall.

We've all been touched by cancer. October is the month we think about pink. I wish for you and the people you love a cancer-free life.
