On October 5, 2007, everything changed for Amy.
The lump that was found during a routine physical--the one that was examined during an ultrasound, and biopsied--was malignant.
Breast Cancer.
Amy was 33.
For the next 5 months, Amy sat through blood draws, chemotherapy sessions, radiation treatments and even treatment for a blood clot (twice. Don't ask.).
Today, Amy is now cancer free.
While talking with Amy recently, she stated that the one thing that pulled her through her cancer treatments, the days she couldn't move out of bed, the weekends that she wished she had the energy to visit longer with friends and family were cards.
Cards from friends.
Cards from family members.
Cards from people she didn't even know.
So....why not send cards to people who are fighting cancer? Not just breast cancer, any cancer. A homemade card, personally written to help people who are fighting cancer know that someone (or in our case--a group of "someones") is thinking about them.
Encouraging them.
Praying for them.
Amy has said that she always feels that she's surrounded by angels.
And if sending a card to someone who is fighting cancer spreads that same feeling to them during their treatments--then that is just fabulous.
We like fabulous.
