We are just happy that it is taking place and out there at this point. Race Day...ask about that later....I can't even go there and try to predict all that can happen - good and 'not so good'.

Welcome to Imerman Angels (http://www.imermanangels.org/)
Imerman Angels carefully matches and individually pairs a person touched by cancer (a cancer fighter or survivor) with someone who has fought and survived the same type of cancer (a Mentor Angel). Cancer caregivers (spouses, parents, children and other family and friends of fighters) also receive 1-on-1 connections with other caregivers and survivors. These 1-on-1 relationships inspire hope and offer the chance to ask personal questions and receive support from someone who is uniquely familiar with the experience. The service is absolutely free and helps anyone touched by any type of cancer, at any cancer stage level, at any age, living anywhere in the world.
I would recommend contacting them when you feel strong enough to help another...we are all in this together and we are the support that is needed.

And, yes, it is Breast Cancer Awareness month....it is 'in your face' when you are already aware of it but not in the face of everyone who should be addressing their breast health - so, endure it and know that by 'shouting from the rooftops' we may help 1 or 2 or 1,000+ seek professional exams and follow up.

Getting it all out there - all those thoughts that flew through while I was not blogging...
NAVEL EXPO, November 7, 2010 at the Huntington Hilton - so many prominent Long Island Health Professionals in one location to share with you the latest in medical news. $20 and your time - well spent, you will walk away with information galore - it will "blow your mind" to quote a friend, Alex Lubarsky.

"The Navel Wellness Expo is designed to attract both the natural health practitioner, such as the wellness oriented medical doctor, chiropractor, massage therapist, physical therapist, nutritionist, naturopath, psychologist and the fitness expert, as well as thousands of health conscious, upward mobile consumers, from child to senior. People who are looking to take responsibility for their health, learn about all the cutting edge technology and information in the natural health and life long wellness arena, and move their well being to a higher level.
