 Friends and followers of "The Cancer Couch" - how can I thank you enough for sticking with me through all this and continuing to follow my story and support this foundation that WE have built. Well, to start I am going to put out this newsletter monthly with ONLY GOOD NEWS. Call me a pollyanna (I'm so not) - but - I need some GOOD NEWS in my life and I bet you do too. That is not to say I ignore the bad, or the frustrating, or the sad. I don't. But I also don't want to live there. I use those feelings to learn from a situation - what I don't want or, I take action to improve and honor it. None of us know how much time we have left but let's just say - when you are diagnosed with an incurable cancer in the prime of your life - you can kind of see the numbers on the bus that is barreling towards you. So, I am choosing not to dwell in the negative but rather - to highlight, celebrate and spread - the good. Here is what's good this month... Did you know that we have, collectively, with the help of our friends at Hope Scarves and Twisted Pink, put 1.7 million dollars DIRECTLY - with not a penny taken out - into the labs of the amazing, brilliant researchers at Dana-Farber (Dr. Nikhil Wagle) and Memorial Sloan Kettering - my home field (Dr. Sarat Chandarlapaty). AND...we have put thousands into Angel Funds to support those living with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) in financial need through the Beth Calabotta fund at the Blessings Health Center in Illinois and in my hometown of Fairfield, CT at the Norma Pfriem Center in honor of Beth Davis. BRAVA people BRAVA!!! YOU DID THIS! Everyone of you and every dollar you raised did this! Thank you! I may have had the idea but man...you guys ran with it!!! :) And...we are having FUN doing it! That's me up there doing STAND UP comedy!! Yes, I know - what the h%&^ was I thinking? Just because I can "stand up" doesn't mean I have nailed the other 50% of the "STAND UP COMEDIAN" gig. It is truly one of the hardest things I have ever done. My hat goes off to every hard-working comedian out there. Support stand up comedy and when you go to a show, please laugh your arse off - it's scary up there!! My generous friends at The Fairfield Comedy Club have offered to donate $5 of every ticket, to any show, to TCCF!!! So please check them out and use promo code CANCERCOUCH!!! You'll get a discount and we will get 5 bucks that will be matched to 10 and go straight to research!! I used my burgeoning comedic skills to perform at a charity event last night at Gotham Comedy Club in NYC and I was so honored to receive an award from the wonderful non-profit organization started by an amazing firecracker of a woman, named Carri Rubinstein, called Thru My Eyes . They make legacy videos for people to have for their loved ones. Don't get me wrong: My clinical trial IS WORKING and I remain fully, potentially delusional but, FULLY optimistic that I will outlive these numbers by DECADES! However, I know the average life expectancy after recurrence is 18 months. I watch so many MBC friends fail and die - every week. So...I made one of these videos because I want my kids to have that and see me (random chin hairs and all) feeling vital and funny and well. Thank you Carri and the Thru My Eyes team for honoring me with a Spirit Award last night (some pics below of the event!). In other good news...our end of school year scoops challenges are about to take off! Thanks to my sisters Paula and Vivian and our friend Vicki as well as so many other amazing people (Danielle, Lisa, Amanda, Sara, Jenny) who are running these this year (details to follow as well as sign up sheets!!!). Ok the other thing that is good... our 3rd annual cancer beat tickets are going on sale shortly so SAVE THE DATE 9/8/2018 at The Warehouse in Fairfield, CT (at the metro north train station!) and we are thrilled to have the comedic talent of Christine O'Leary for our VIP program and G.Love & Special Sauce for our musical performers! We have sold out the past two years so please don't delay in getting your tickets to this fun event - this year's theme is Laugh, Live and G.Love! Wellness, humor and good vibes will abound. Lastly...I'm getting a wee bit tired these days and the lesson I am learning from this is I need to take my cape off once in a while and ask for and receive help :). Not one of us can do it all. We are collaborative creatures by nature. So... here are a few asks: If your awesome self or your awesome company would like to be a sponsor of The Cancer Beat, or be involved with getting sponsors and donation items, please email me directly and I will give you a very specific and manageable job or sponsorship package with a million thousand thank yous, GREAT marketing, and even better karma! Shout out to Circle Hotel Fairfield, Wildfire Magazine, Vegalash and Tracy Locke - a few recent and recurring sponsors! And, man there is so much great news - this is turning into a newsnovel - I AM GOING TO BE A REAL LIVE COWGIRL at the Cowgirls vs Cancer Big Sky yoga retreat for which I have been accepted in Montana! My next newsletter or newsnovel :) will have pics and tell you all about it! Yeehaw and namaste.

Thanks dr jumba you promised and you did it god almighty will continue to bless you as you help people reunite their broken relationship and broken marriages . I never thought I will smile again, My husband left me with two kids for one year, All effort to bring him back failed I thought I'm not going to see him again not until I met a lady called rose who told me about a spell caster called DR jumba, She gave me his email address and mobile number and I contacted him and he assured me that within 48hours my husband will come back to me, In less than 48hours my husband came back started begging for forgiveness saying it is the devils work, so I'm still surprise till now about this miracle,i couldn't conceive but as soon as the spell was cast,i became pregnant and gave birth to my third child,if you need any assistance from him you can contact him via: email: wiccalovespelltools@gmail.com or Call/WhatsApp him: +19085174108 BLOG : blog : https://wiccaspelltools.blogspot.com/

My husband and I have been married for about 7 yrs now. We were happily married with two kids, a boy and a girl. 3 months ago, I started to notice some strange behavior from him and a few weeks later I found out that my husband is seeing someone. He started coming home late from work, he hardly cared about me or the kids anymore, Sometimes he goes out and doesn't even come back home for about 2-3 days. I did all I could to rectify this problem but all to no avail. I became very worried and needed help. As I was browsing through the Internet one day, I came across a website that suggested that Dr Jumba can help solve marital problems, restore broken relationships and so on. So, I felt I should give him a try. I contacted him and he did a spell for me. Two days later, my husband came to me and apologized for the wrongs he did and promised never to do it again. Ever since then, everything has returned back to normal. My family are living together happily again.. All thanks to Dr Jumba . If you need a spell caster that can cast a spell that truly works, I suggest you contact him. He will not disappoint you. This is his Email:

After being in relationship with Wilson for seven years,he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to someone online and she suggested that I should contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that don’t believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I meant a spell caster called Dr Zuma zuk and I email him, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 4pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened, that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him, that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem, I would be of help to such person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem and who is different from all the fake ones out there. Anybody could need the help of the spell caster, his email: spiritualherbalisthealing@gmail.com or WhatsApp him +15068001647 Leave a Reply. |
