Prayer, Laughter & Broccoli - Online

October 1st will be the start of National Breast Cancer Month nationwide with pink ribbons galore and multiple walks and other events, including the Annual Luncheon of the Breast Cancer Alliance here in Greenwich.  It is also the day that our family will launch a new, updated edition of Prayer, Laughter & Broccoli: Being There When Your Wife Has Breast Cancer.  We are releasing the update in celebration of Shirley's 30 years as a survivor of a Stage 3 breast cancer with extensive lymph node involvement.  The "official" day that launched her year long treatment was November 8, 1982.  We are also noting her 2 years as a survivor of a different, much less aggressive breast cancer treated in June, 2010.  Part of the update is bringing awareness to genetic testing and counseling.

The new edition will be released serially on http://www.prayer,laughterandbroccoli.blogspot.com for 64 days from October 1, 2012 through December 3, 2012.  Based on interest and response, we may repeat the process starting December 4th.  Please help us spread the word to patients, husbands, and other family members.  Help us share our experience, strength and hope.
