Too sexy for my hair: a cancer blog

Tuesday, August 23, 2005

So My Plan is...

This is my idea and plan. I would like to transform Too Sexy For My Hair: a young woman's cancer blog into Too Sexy For My Hair: a group cancer blog. I will be transferring my personal posts and all archives to a new blog I have created. The name of this blog will be Mission: Remission.

I also plan on starting a non-profit organization with and for my group. The idea behind this group is to send care packages to those whom have been diagnosed with cancer and are going through some type of chemo.

When I first found out about my diagnosis, I received so many cards and a few baskets, and it lifted my spirit tremendously. I want to do the same for others.

Still working on the details, but I am very excited about this. I've made plans to raise money through designing and selling T-Shirts, yard sales etc. I have even started collecting cans and bottles for recycling... my mom is helping me do the same (she works @ a hospital and she told me she could bring home 1-2 bags a night.) Every penny will help.

Changing the subject on you. My WBCs jumped from 2.5 to 10.3. Those neupogen shots really work. Anyways, I was finally able to get in to chemo. YEAH? :) I am beginning to tire out; that's all I can write for now.

Post ya later!

Love,
Lori

Fantastic idea. You give me such strength. I'm having chemo and some days I just can't cope and feel like giving up (like today, at hospital to test WBC...more injections and feeling ill) then I read your blog and you give me strength to carry on.

You are amazing

Congratulations! I am a cancer survivor myself, and a new reader of both this site and your husband's. If you need any help at all (I'm a web developer and relatively handy with graphic design), please let me know if I can help.

So exciting. You're a woman on a mission and cancer just became the underdog!

You obviously are an extremely capable gal with a wonderful husband at your side, but I want you to know that if you ever need ANYTHING at all, I'm an e-mail away (joi @ thementalfitnesscenter.com) I work from home as a web designer and web publisher, so I'm here at my computer verrrrrry often. It would make my day to be of service in any way at all.

You've inspired and encouraged me today, and you're making a habit of it.

Thinking of and praying for you,
Joi

Let me know if I can do anything to help.
Maybe donate some T-shirts?
I'm already donating part of the proceeds from the sale of my cancer merchandise to The American Cancer Society.
