Ten Things

Ten things we want you to know about the Canadian Breast Cancer Support Fund.

We are building a community of support for breast cancer patients facing

a financial crisis.

We feel that every donor has the right to know that his or her donation makes

an impact.

We believe that Canadians should be informed about the financial crisis that often

accompanies a breast cancer diagnosis.

We acknowledge the science that informs us about the links between breast cancer

and the environment.

We demand that public policy protect all Canadians from environmental toxins.

We think differently about raising money for breast cancer.313281_300555023292053_159476780733212_1399781_779817079_n1

We are sure if shopping could cure breast cancer—we would have found

a cure by now.

We will never ask you to buy anything pink…. EVER.

We think differently about breast cancer.

We know a lot of other people do too.

Earlier this week I shared information about Erin Arbabha’s memoir and self-help book, I Have Survived.  Please read on …

SYNOPSIS
Erin’s memoir of her journey is very personal, fascinating and life changing. She finds herself stuck between two cultures and believes when her core femininity are challenged after losing her hair and breasts. Unknown
In “I have Survived”, Erin walks you through her first warning signs that she neglected for 6 months and then later when she learned about her diagnosis ending up with multiple surgeries followed by 6 months of aggressive chemotherapy. It is when she is at at the darkest and lowest point of her life that she finds beautiful side of herself that transcends her beyond the physical world. She finds peace, beauty and tranquility that she had never experienced before.
Erin shares valuable section at the end of the book where she gives advise to patients, friends and family members, caregivers, medical community and employers.

I Have Survived is endorsed by Nancy Brinker, chief founder of Susan G Komen Foundation, Race for the Cure.

Erin, why did you write this book?

Unknown-2My intention in writing this book is to share the thoughts I collected while journaling during this period, so that others can find solace in my hardships and triumphs. If I can help only even a handful of women, then it is worth it.

What do you do for fun?

I love speeding time with my dog, Jelly Bean. I enjoy fitness and art. I row 2-3 times a week and try to participate in pairing workshop as much as i can.
