How does a terminally ill breast cancer patient prepare her family for life without her?
The Breast Cancer Wellness Magazine: Empowering Mind-Body-Spirit is seeking inspirational messages on this subject from families that had to go through this experience. The magazine focuses on ways to empower mind, body and spirit in each issue, as well as the difficult challenges that come from being diagnosed with cancer.
Publisher Beverly Vote says she would like five articles on this topic. The full-color magazine is free to breast cancer patients and survivors and is published quarterly. Word count is under 800 words. Deadline is July 1 and you can email the articles to her at BeverlyVote@aol.com
The magazine is continuing to take names and addresses of breast cancer patients and survivors that wish to receive this free publication through July 1.
Dear Beverly Vote:
I have just heard abut your on-line Magzine. Stories are your business and mine. You may be interested in WomenStories, a series of 10 videos (streamed on our website), that is now on DVD. The series are psychosocial and each one is a collge of several women’s stories about a single topic such as Chemotherapy,Intimacy, Family Support of Life After Breast Cancer. We are currently giving away our soon to be outdated VHS videos for the price of shipping and handling. Once you have visited out webite,k be in touch with me about how we can partner.

My mum had breast cancer the second time (she lost her left breast via amputation) after radiotherapy did not work. After 9 years, she had a “leaking” breast again (the right breast!)
She insisted on a mammogram against my will for diagnosis – I had preferred she went for thermagram which was a “no radiation” tool that archeologists and researchers use to study fossils.
However a miracle happened. Her oncologist asked for another diagnosis to be done. The report stated NO MALIGNANCY DETECTED.
Her doctor was stumped and said it could be a wrong diagnosis but he did not convince us about the “wrong diagnosis”.
My mum has had cataracts, fractures, high blood pressure, and borderline diabetes while fighting cancer the first time round.

Dear Beverly Vote: I just came across your website and thought I would share with you our program. Better Than Before Fitness is a 50 min DVD program that can be used 3 days after breast cancer surgery after consulting with their Doctor. We have helped thousands of women recovering to regain range of motion, flexibility and strenght back in their arms and upper body. Please take a look at our site. All the participants in our program are recovering breast cancer patients and are led by me. I am a AFAA and ACE certified personal trainer, Lauren Antorino Griffin, under the direction and supervision of Dr. Peter R. Neumann, a board certified reconstructive plastic surgeon.
Sincerely, Lauren
