Fwd: The Power of Positive Pinking, May 2009

 

May 2009 The Power of Positive Pinking In This Issue May Pink-Linker Studies Available Survivor Cruise May Featured Pink-Linker, Kelly Henderson Kelly Henderson, mother of two and founder and owner of Iwearitwell.com, has been making lemonade from lemons for many years. In addition to surviving what the current economy has thrown her way, she has also survived cancer. Read Kelly's story Various Studies Are you available to participate in a study to help find a cure for breast cancer? The National Institute of Health in Bethesda, Maryland is looking for Metastatic survivors for 3 different studies they're organizing. To find out more information and/or to sign up for the study, please contact: June Kryk or Linda Williams Immunotherapy Referral Office National Cancer Institute CRC, Room 2-1730 10 Center Drive Bethesda, MD   20892 Telephone: 301-451-1929 Fax 301-451-1927 Don't forget to mention how you heard about the studies! Dear Ginger, May can be a very hard month for some people. For some, Mother's Day is a day to remember a mother that has passed. For others, it's a day of celebrating with family. But, for both, it's a day to celebrate women, our accomplishments and the love it takes to achieve them. My journey with breast cancer has brought me to realize how special it is to be a woman and the tremendous need we have to support each other. Pink-Link now has over 3,200 members across the country and internationally! For the past 3 years, Pink-Linkers have made over 1,000 connections! And last year, our website was visited by people from 109 countries. We just added the capability to search our survivor database based on age range: under 25, 26-40, 41-55 and over 55. We ARE making a difference in how women are getting the emotional support they need during a very trying time in their lives. I hope you're feeling well and empowered!   Victoria Tashman Founder Pink-Link p.s. You can follow me on Twitter and join our cause on FaceBook! 2010 Survivor Cruise Since 2007, the Breast Cancer Wellness Magazine has organized the only Breast Cancer Survivor's Cruise. The magazine is a nonprofit organization and it's mission is to empower and educate breast cancer survivors. They do this particularly well on their annual cruise with a variety of  speakers and topics addressing various breast cancer issues. Pink-Link is proud to be a partner with the magazine in promoting the 2010 cruise in the Caribbean. The cruise departs Ft. Lauderdale on May 2, 2010 and returns on May 8th. When you book a cabin using the code "PinkLink", we will receive a $25 donation! So, besides having the time of your life, you are also donating to your favorite charity! What can be better than that? Please click on the link for more information and to register. Cruise Information Lymphedema Questions? I recently connected with Gail Pekelis, owner of Women's Physical Therapy in Southern California. She is a Lymphedema specialist with 22 years of physical therapy experience. I asked her to write a series of articles addressing lymphedema and ways to control it. The following is the first in her series of articles. "In a three part series of short articles, the following information about lymphedema will be examined.   This first article will define lymphedema, the risk factors and provide some helpful suggestions for self-education and care.   Article II will discuss assessment and treatment options for lymphedema.   Article III will discuss Axillary Web Syndrome and its presence with or without lymphedema. This condition may appear following axillary node dissection." Read the Article Pink-Link Nutritionist Our nutritionist, Janice Baker, was interviewed by San Diego Live online.
