share your story WITH US

Because no two cancer experiences are the same, I am asking fellow cancer warriors and survivors following Pink Gravel to please speak up and respond to the following questions.  If you know someone that may be interested in sharing as well, please share this post with them.  I hope to collect several  and post to this Pink Gravel Blog page and Facebook page in the next few weeks.  First names will only be used if used at all.

Pink Gravel is giving you an opportunity to share a little bit about your cancer story on our platform.  These stories will also provide a resource for those looking for ideas on how to help themselves or help support someone they know going through treatments.

1. What type of cancer?
2. Summary of your treatment?
3. what were notable side effects or changes?
4. Name three to five must have items that you kept in your arsenal for comfort.
5. Favorite item or gift purchased or received as gift?
6. Anything you want to add? Tips, tricks, or favorite motivational sayings?

 
Send a direct message to the Pink Gravel Facebook page, comment to this blog or if you prefer, send an email to pinkgravelrider@gmail.com  with your answers.
 
If you need a little help, here are my answers:

1. Breast Cancer
2. Lumpectomy plus nodes, Chemotherapy, Radiation & pill.
3. Mouth sores, hair loss, hip and back pain, fatigue, rashes, thinning fingernails and hot flashes, lots of hot flashes.
4. Medicated mouthwash & lozenges, hydrocortisone cream, aloe vera and plastic water bottle.
5. This is tough as I received a few cool things, but the one that sticks out is a black & purple swirl head buff that came in a box of other goodies.  It had a cool soft feel, and I wore it on my bald head at night.
6. I will skip this question but please add to your story
