Stamp Out Breast Cancer Day #2!

"I can give hope to cancer patients. I have survived breast cancer 6 times. I am going through my 7th diagnosis right now. My cancer is stable at present. I have been on Gemzar for 6 treatments. I have one left in two weeks. My cancer is a stage IV. But I have survived it so many times before I can do it again. I could not have made it without God, my family and friends. Also lots of prayer and a positive attitude. I have had 7 kinds of chemo. They are: 5-FU, Cytoxan, Adriamycin, Taxol, Navelbine, Xeloda, and Gemzar. I have had radiation 5 times. I have taken tamoxifen, Femara, Megase, and Aromasin. It all started in 1982 when I was 37. After that time I was cancer-free for 13 years. Then I had it 5 times in 5 years. Then I was cancer free for almost 7 years. The Lord has blessed me with a good outlook on life. I accept whatever this cancer outcome might be. I do get fearful at times. But I know the Lord has a plan for me. Whether here to tell my story and encourage others or in heaven so other people can tell my story for me. Thank you for this opportunity to tell my story."

Every card that I share with you this week will use the "Hope Happens" Stamp Set – a wonderful greeting set not just for Breast Cancer, but for anyone in need of a little hope and encouragement. Here is today's Card of Hope:

ALY'S HELPFUL HINTS:

• Our printed window sheets make a beautiful butterfly layer – and when you pair it with the Big Shot Machine and Butterfly Die – it couldn't be faster and easier! The images are done and the shape is cut out with just a crank of the handle.
• Sprigs of Silver Cord and White Halfback Pearls finish off the butterfly by creating a stylish body and antena.
• The "Night and Day" Halloween DSP in the Holiday Mini Catalog is extremelly versatile! Here it takes on a dainty look – you would never have guessed that it was created with spook in mind!
