Fair, if you're going to go there, then we have to take on everyone's insurance problems from every medical issue, really. I think we do what we can with this link. Unless you want to start your own website, and delve into those financial complications, I'd say stick with this for now. Go ahead and research other methods if you'd like. I find once you move into "big picture" mode, you can end up feeling paralyzed.

My friend Shirley has breast cancer. She is going for chemo, can't work, ran out of vacation time, had to take a medical leave, doesn't qualify for welfare and now can't pay her rent.

It doesn't make sense that she can't apply for disability.
How can you not look at the big picture.

You're absolutely right, Fair. She should be able to get disability. Does she have disability from her job?

No. Having cancer does not qualify her for disability.

That totally sucks a**. If she were in jail, she'd have treatment paid for. If she were on welfare, she'd have treatment paid for.

It may not solve everything, if much of anything at all - but I just like to click this anyway

I agree with you D and Rath. If she broke her leg, she'd have disability. Might be worth breaking your leg for.

Fair 2 Middlin - sorry about your friend. Atleast this might alert people who otherwise wouldn't have known that they had cancer. Its not going to solve all of their problems, but its certainly step #1. Also guys check out the other links on this site. There are all sorts of things you can click for!

Just for this morning, I am going to smile when I see your face and laugh when I feel like crying.
Just for this morning, I will let you choose what you want to wear, and smile and say how perfect it is.
Just for this morning, I am going to step over the laundry, and pick you up and take you to the park to play.
Just for this morning, I will leave the dishes in the sink, and let you teach me how to put that puzzle of yours together.
Just for this afternoon, I will unplug the telephone and keep the computer off, and sit with you in the backyard and blow bubbles..
Just for this afternoon, I will not yell once, not even a tiny grumble when you scream and whine for the ice cream truck, and I will buy you one if he comes by.
Just for this afternoon, I won't worry about what you are going to be when you grow up, or second guess every decision I have made where you are concerned.
Just for this afternoon, I will let you help me bake cookies, and I won't stand over you trying to fix them.
Just for this afternoon, I will take us to McDonald's and buy us both a Happy Meal so you can have both toys..
Just for this evening, I will hold you in my arms and tell you a story about how you were born and how much I love you.
Just for this evening, I will let you splash in the tub and not get angry.
Just for this evening, I will let you stay up late while we sit on the porch and count all the stars.
Just for this evening, I will snuggle beside you for hours, and miss my favorite TV shows.
Just for this evening when I run my finger through your hair as you pray, I will simply be grateful that God has given me the greatest gift ever given.
I will think about the mothers and fathers who are searching for their missing children, the mothers and fathers who are visiting their children's graves instead of their bedrooms, and mothers and fathers who are in hospital rooms watching their children suffer senselessly, and screaming inside that they can't handle it anymore.
And when I kiss you good night I will hold you a little tighter, a little longer. It is then, that I will thank God for you, and ask him for nothing, except one more day..............


*Click for all those people who didn't get that one more day.*

To re-emphasize for those just checking the end of the thread:

Please tell ten friends to tell ten today! The Breast Cancer site is having trouble getting enough people to click on it daily to meet their quota of donating at least one free mammogram a day to an underprivileged woman.

It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on "donating a mammogram" for free (pink window in the middle). This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate mammograms in exchange for advertising.

Here's the web site! Pass it along to people you know.

AGAIN, PLEASE TELL 10 FRIENDS TO TELL 10 TODAY .....please do this for Boobs.

*Please post that you did it please*

hello all.
i want to apologize now for the excessive post i am about to make. first of all THANK YOU.... for what you have done in the last few days. i have been reading this post. i have been digesting all of the unity and positive forces at work, and also the small portion of negative (there will always be a challenge to good deeds).
for those of you who don't know me, let me introduce myself. i am a breast cancer prevention advocate. this is what i do with the large portion of my day. i am fortunate to have a flexible (real job) work schedule that supports and appreciates my other commitments. i am not even nearly alone in this endeavor. our non-profit group is over 100 strong... these men and women are warriors in every sense of the word. they fight the good fight no matter how bad the odds are.
breast cancer has leaked it's way into almost every aspect of my life. i've lost friends. watched my grandmothers battle. stood toe to toe with my 56 year old mother when she insists over and over that she WILL NOT get a mammogram. sometimes it's a real bummer.
so what i want to say is this. you have all done much more than you even realize. i'd bet that a good bunch of you have e-mailed this site to your address book. by doing that you have reminded them not to forget their own bodies. you have made this a hot topic on a board that probably wouldn't have thought too much about it. there are young girls on this board who think that they are impervious to breat cancer. girls... you must be familiar with the lanscape of your bodies. i've met girls as young as 14 in my community who are battling right now. if you are menstruating you should be doing your self breast exam.
and gentlemen... you ALL have ladies in your lives. whether she is mother, sister, friend, wife, girlfriend or your favorite waitress at the local diner, pay her the ultimate compliment and remind her to take control of her body.
it is all about taking the onus off of BSE and incorporating it into real life. de-mystifying the breast.
anyway, i've fallen to disconnected rambling and i still have pages left to say.... so i'll spare you the bulk and just say thank you. if nothing else you have made me feel like i have "warrior friends" on this board.

sincerely, fae
