Welcome to the July 20, 2008 edition of Pink Ribbon Review blog carnival!
It’s short and sweet — I only received one entry. Mary Emma Allen, at Alzheimer’s Notes, discusses caring for Alzheimer’s patients who also might have cancer in her post: Are You Dealing with Breast Cancer as Well as Alzheimer’s? Thanks Mary […]

There are many brands of “pink ribbon” t-shirts on the market … but few of them resonate with younger men and women, teens and twenty-somethings, most of whom haven’t been touched by breast cancer yet.
Quite frankly, those young guns are in need of a breast cancer awareness boost — awareness about early detection, awareness about […]

I’ll not be posting again this morning. Yet another rainy day drive to Yale.
Remember the day of my last appointment?
Remember my follow up post on ‘Dealing with Depression‘?
No matter how often or infrequently my follow up medical appointments take place, the feeling is always the same: I wouldn’t have to go to the doctor […]

Dear God, I pray for the cure of cancer. Amen.
