Curing Cancer...Creatively and Comedically

3/6/2018

There have been so many amazing and supportive events going on involving The Cancer Couch, that I almost don't know where to start. The Mombie movement seems like a great place. It all started with this one very creative woman, Terry Davis, who lives in my town. She got a bunch of women together two Halloweens ago, to learn a choreographed dance routine to Michael Jackson's,Thriller. They dressed up like zombies, performed this "flash mob" dance to the delight of their kids, friends and neighbors...and that was it - just for fun. Or so they thought. Well, the video went viral and they knew something incredible had begun...

This year, Terry and her crew got to thinking they could do something powerful and good with the attention the video garnered. One of the dancers was our own Board member, Caryn Sullivan, of Pretty Wellness and a fellow MBC patient. The group had a heightened awareness of our plight to increase MBC funding.

They graciously decided to link TCCF website to the end of their video and direct people to donate once they finished viewing. To date, they have raised $14,469 - which will be doubled and rounded up (by an anonymous donor) to $30k. At their request, to keep some of the donations in our own community - we put ten percent into our Beth Davis fund for metastatic breast cancer patients in financial need at the Norma Pfriem Breast Center in town. Thank you #FairfieldMombies - you incredible, adventurous, cool, kind women!

But... this movement didn't stop there. In fact, it may actually just be getting started ... My sis Viv, and her unbelievably smart, passionate, and generous mom friends in Cheshire, CT hopped on board the Mombie Movement and just completed an unbelievably creative Mombie video themselves. This time, the holiday theme was love and Valentines day. They have brought in a whopping $6080 to date. That will also be rounded up and doubled - to make a total of 14K going straight to research from their efforts. Thank you so much ladies. Click here to see both videos and donate through their creative cause! (Terry Davis - creator of Fairfield Mombies in pic to left below; Maricele Riemann, Catherine Takizawa, Vivian Ciampi (my sis) & Neeta Vatti- the creators of the #CheshireMombies are in the photo on the right! You have to watch these videos - to see the amazing, creative performances these incredible mom dance crews, and volunteer video and dance professionals, pulled off! THANK YOU SO MUCH! They encourage you to start a Mombie movement near you for TCCF!

People are always so generous in asking how I am doing, so a quick update here on my health status: I am still taking part in a Phase Two clinical trial at MSKCC. It involves taking a combination of the drugs Ibrance and Casodex orally. It is really tolerable. It is working - as of my last scans - the cancer was stable and some areas receding. Cause to celebrate!

I just returned from an incredible girls' trip in Paris. It was magical. My good pal Kyla won this at The Cancer Beat and, in a very Oprah-esque moment, announced she was taking me! Some fantastic francophile friends (Nicole, Casey, Sarah, & Kathleen from the US, and representing the European contingency - Alicia, trained in from Zurich, and Kerri flew in from England) joined the fun. I really fell in love with the city this time around. I know my son Luca was truly baffled as to how I would have any fun there without him - as it was the last trip we took as a family before my diagnosis, - but somehow, I managed...(shhhh)

Taking Coco To Chemo: I couldn't resist wearing the awesome, vintage Channel coat I found at the Antique market in Paris to the cancer hospital the day after we got back, over my "spiritual gangster" yoga tank. I love Coco Channel, but not just for her killer, simple fashion brilliance. She is a fellow Leo, her birthday just one day before mine, and she is a proud, scrappy survivor lioness like me. Not only was she groundbreaking in using fashion to get women out of corsets and into comfortable and fashionable cloths, she learned to sew from nuns who raised her in an orphanage after her mom died. Who better to channel for some strength than Coco Channel? Here's to having cancer in style.

A few announcements: Please consider hosting a Scoops Challenge! It is a great way to get your kids involved and empowered. Our goal is to have one taking place in all 50 states...and beyond! Remember, we will donate 10% of the proceeds from your event to set up an angel fund in your name or a breast cancer patient in your community to help local mbc patients in financial need. So, please consider hosting a "Last day/or week/or month of school Ice Cream Scoops Challenge" in your community! If you want to learn more about hosting a scoops challenge at a local ice scream store in your town, please contact Paula Cunningham at pcunns9@gmail.com or Vicki Swanson at vickiswanson@hotmail.com, or Vivian Ciampi vmciampi@gmail.com if your event will be off site at a park or somewhere (not at an ice cream store)! They will set you up with everything you need to do this! Perfect feel good way to kick off summer!

And finally, I'm going to go ahead and file this one under the category, "Oh the terminally ill...we think we can do anything!" Because that seems to be the delusional vantage point from which I was operating when I decided to try my hand, er, mouth - at stand up comedy. It is so hard but THE BEST distraction from cancer. I am really hooked on trying to make people laugh and am having so much fun just writing and laughing at the jokes myself.

If you are so inclined, and want to either laugh at or with me, and live anywhere near the NYC area, I am lucky enough to have the chance to perform, this Thursday evening March 8th, at 630pm, at the iconic New York Comedy Club. Click here for tickets and ... there is a bar next door where we can catch up after!

For those of you who missed my debut comedy shows in CT, and a huge thank you to those who came from all over (Rochester wins!), and liked it enough to come back (New material!) I am headlining at The Fairfield Comedy Club on April 6th at 9pm. Use Promo code REBECCA for a discount and Click here for tickets. Please come out and support local comedy and this amazing comedy club on their first Friday night show!!

A huge thank you to Tim Kerr from albatrosspros.com for the video! And the fabulous Lisa Garcia for the photography! Here is some footage of the debut night, courtesy of Photography by Lisa Garcia...

get your ex back with a love spell that works fast.
Dr.Jumba has helped thousands of women get their Ex boyfriends back using his real effective love Spell. After my boyfriend of one year broke up with me, I could barely speak without crying. I felt blindsided and didn't know what to do. I didn't know if I could get him back and the anxiety was unbearable. I needed him back desperately because I loved him so much. So I contacted this great spell caster for help. He helped me cast a return love spell on him and just within 11 hours my boyfriend came back to me crying and begging for my forgiveness. Dr. Jumba released him to know how much I loved and wanted him. And He also opened his eyes to picture how much love we have shared together. As I am writing this testimony right now I am the happiest woman on earth. I want to recommend this great spell caster to anyone that truly needs an urgent solution to a love break up. Email him at wiccalovespelltools@yahoo.com , wiccalovespelltools@gmail.com or Call/WhatsApp him: +19085174108 "I'm so grateful and can say that if you have been broken up with and want to get that person back, Dr.Jumba is the best! I'll never forget how much he helped me

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
you can email him if you need his assistance in your relationship or anything. CONTACT HIM NOW FOR SOLUTION TO ALL YOUR PROBLEMS

MY NAME IS SUPRIYA KUMAR FROM INDIA
PLEASE FIND TIME TO READ THIS CAREFULLY.
AS WE ALL KNOW INDIA IS NUMBER ONE IN THE WORLD IN TERMS OF MAGIC SO DO NOT IGNORE THIS.

BE CMY AREFUL HERE, NOBODY CAN HELP YOU FROM AFRICA OR EVEN SUGGEST HOW YOU CAN GET YOUR EX OR LOVE BACK, ANY TESTIMONIES OF MOST SPELL CASTER FROM AFRICA HERE MUST BE IGNORED, BECAUSE MOST OF THEM ARE SCAM I MEAN REAL SCAM AND FROM AFRICA WHICH I WAS A VICTIM AND I GOT RIPPED OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS BECAUSE I WAS SO ANXIOUS TO GET MY HUSBAND JOHN BACK AFTER HE LEFT ME FOR OVER 2YEARS WITH MY 3YEARS OLD SON JERRY,I HAVE APPLIED TO 7 DIFFERENT SPELL CASTER HERE I MET ON THIS BLOG AND ALL TO NO AVAIL THEY ALL ASK FOR SAME THING SEND YOUR NAME YOUR EX NAME ADDRESS AND PICTURE PHONE NUMBER ETC WHICH I DID OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND MOST OF THEM WERE FROM AFRICA, I WAS SO CONFUSED AND I WAS ALWAYS SICK BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM AND I WAS SO DESPERATE TO HAVE JOHN BACK TO ME I LOVE HIM SO MUCH AND COULD DIE FOR HIM. UNTIL A FRIEND TOLD ME ABOUT THE TEMPLE OF DREAMS THE GREATEST SPELL TEMPLE, (templeofdreams1@gmail.com) TEMPLE OF BLACK AND WHITE (GOOD AND EVIL) IN INDIA, AND I DECIDED TO SEND A MAIL TO THE TEMPLE. THE SECRETARY TOLD ME THAT ALL MY PROBLEM ARE OVER SINCE I HAVE DECIDED TO CONTACT INDIA FOR HELP, HE TOLD ME TO EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED BETWEEN ME AND MY EX HUSBAND JOHN AND I DID, I TOLD HIM ALL THAT HAPPENED FROM THE BEGINNING. AND HE SAID TO ME MY CHILD WHAT YOU JUST EXPLAINED TO ME NOW IS A LITTLE PROBLEM TO HANDLE COMPARE TO SERIOUS PROBLEMS THE TEMPLE HAS HANDLED, I WAS SO SHOCKED AND I SAID TO MY SELF WHAT PROBLEM COULD BE MORE SERIOUS THAN THIS. HE TOLD ME WHAT I NEEDED TO DO AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, BUT WHAT HE SAID LOOK SIMILAR TO WHAT I HAVE HEARD IN THE PAST(THAT I WAS TO PAY FOR THE ITEMS NEEDED), I WAS HAVING DOUBT ABOUT IT BECAUSE OF PAST EXPERIENCE, BUT I DECIDED TO TRY SINCE THE TEMPLE IS LOCATED IN INDIA (ASIA) AND NOT AFRICA (NIGERIA AND SOUTH AFRICA) THEY COULD BE REAL AND DIFFERENT. SO I GAVE THEM 50% OF MY TRUST. THIS WAS LIKE A MAGIC AND DREAM COME TRUE TO ME, AFTER TWO DAYS WHEN THE SPELL HAS BEEN CASTEED, JOHN BEEPED MY PHONE AT ABOUT 9:PM I COULD NOT SLEEP THAT NIGHT BECAUSE I REALLY LOVE JOHN AND WANT HIM BACK. BY 7:AM THE NEXT MORNING HE GAVE ME ANOTHER MISSED CALL I DECIDED NOT TO CALL BACK AS I WAS STILL ON SHOCK, AT ABOUT 10:AM THAT MORNING HE CALLED AND I PICKED HE SAID CAN WE SEE AFTER WORK TODAY I SAID YES SO HE ENDED THE CALL IMMEDIATELY I GOT OFF WORK HE CALLED ME AND TOLD ME WERE TO MEET HIM, I WAS STILL ON SHOCK, BEHOLD WHEN I GOT THERE I SAW JOHN CRYING WITH TEARS ALL OVER HIS EYES, AND HE SAID TO ME MY WIFE, I AM SO SORRY IMMEDIATELY I HUGGED HIM AND KISSED HIM WHICH I HAVE MISSED ALL THIS YEARS. ALL THANK TO TEMPLE OF DREAMS. IF YOU ARE A MAN OR A WOMAN READING THIS AND YOU ARE PASSING THROUGH SIMILAR PROBLEMS LIKE MINE, DO NOT FAIL TO CONTACT THIS GREAT TEMPLE. HE IS REALLY INDEED A REAL SPELL CASTER.
THE WORST OF ALL IS THAT I DON’T KNOW THE PARTICULAR DOCTOR THAT HELPED ME AS I WAS TOLD THAT THERE ARE MORE THAN 300 SPELL CASTERS WORKING IN THE TEMPLE, UNLIKE THE SINGLE SCAM DOCTORS IN AFRICA. I AM NO LONGER AFRAID OF THE SPELL CASTERS IN AFRICA BECAUSE THE TEMPLE OF DREAMS ASSURED AND GAVE ME HUNDRED PERCENT PROTECTION AND ALSO HELPED ME RECOVER 50% OF MY MONEY THAT I PAYED TO SCAMS FROM AFRICA

I never believed in love spells until I saw a post of a woman on the internet on how a great spell caster helped and get her boyfriend back because I was also looking for guidance on how to get my husband who abandoned me and the children for another woman. I believe you will understand me as a woman with kids who loved his man so much. Now we are back together happily after Priest Salami did some prayers for me. If you are interested in getting your lover back, contact him purenaturalhealer@gmail.com

I just want to say Thank You to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I have been playing Powerball tickets for 6 years now since I turned 18. I bought my first ticket on my 18 birthday. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Dr. Odunga Michael to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream. I had won $768.4M. You can check my winning testimony with the lottery officials just with my name search. Thank you Dr Odunga. Well, his email is odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and you can also call or Whats-app him at +2348167159012 so you guys can contact him
