Pink Celebration Bouquet

June 12 marks the one year anniversary of my sis Katy being cancer free!!!  My other two sisters and I sent her a pink breast cancer free shirt, Sonic gift card and Walmart gift card in the mail.


We had these flowers delivered to her workplace.

When you send flowers you are never sure what you will eventually get, so I had Katy send me a picture. She lives in a small town 5 hours away, and  I think they did a wonderful job of getting my idea.

PINK SATURDAY - BREAST CANCER AWARENESS

This Saturday our Hostess with the Pink Mostess Beverly is featuring Breast Cancer Awareness.  Last year at this time I did not have a personal family member who had suffered from this terrible disease.  This last January my sister was diagnosed with Breast Cancer.

Kathy had a fall down a flight of stairs and bruised her breast.  After a few months she started bleeding from that breast and went to her local doctor. Did not expect to have cancer but the doctor found a spot and was told to go to a specailist.  We all thought it was maybe a large bruize that caused the bleeding but no it was maligant cancer.

After several pictures they found cancer all the way back to the breast wall. They removed the whole breast.  After all the tests the cancer HAD NOT SPREAD TO THE LYMPH NODES!!!  No more treatment!!! She does however take a pill everyday for the next 5 years to help with the occurance of further cancer developing in the other breast!!

All we can say and its kind of wierd---but thank goodness for the fall- this way they found the lump!!!

This is my sister  Katie Bell last Christmas right before they found the cancer.


Below is a picture of one of the beautiful fountains turned pink from the Country Club Plaza in our city.

Ofcourse you find that famous pink ribbon everywhere around in October but this is just a little one I found at a fair this month.

A special cookie for all those who have faced the odds against this disease.
