Hooter Hotline #3A: ANTIDOTE to HH#3


Good Morning everyone!

Click on the link below to receive your antidote for "Hooter Hotline #3." I realize now that I caught many of you off-guard with the depth of emotion that surfaced in the HH #3 update after learning of the lumpectomy pathology. Well, it was the same for me too. But, a bad night is followed by a good day, a good night and an even better morning. I just watched this video below and didn't want it to stop. I also want to go to St V's and hug everyone in it. I'm still smiling as I write this. About midway through the video, it occured to me that all these people are committed to excellence and compassion in their care of breast cancer patients and now that includes me. What a great booster shot to see that motivation for me, you, your mom, grandmom, sister, aunt etc. On this Thanksgiving Eve, I am already compiling my list of blessings to be thankful for. First is for the faith that gives me strength, second is for family and friends like you whose love, care and prayers are the arms and legs of that faith, the gift of the pathology mentioned in HH #3 (it gave us advance intell. of the "enemy's tactics"), and for my absolutely awesome medical team: Dr. Amanda Wheeler, The MPMC Breast Health Center Team (for offering a gift basket raffle which motivated me to get my mammo. three months early and saved my life by finding the little bastard), Dr. Kevin Olson, Dr. Margaruite Stewart, the pathologists (never rush them) and the GSMC OR to name a few...
I'm off to make some pies for tomorrow. You have a wonderful Thanksgiving. I hope you feel my love and appreciation for each one of you. God Bless You and Your Families tomorrow and always.
Love,
Jen




From Connie K:
"From a friend...so worth watching!!" Out of Providence/St. Vincent Med Ctr:

Our daughter-in-law, Emily, created, directed and choreographed this in Portland last week for her Medline glove division as a fundraiser for breast cancer awareness. This was all her idea to help promote their new pink gloves. I don't know how she got so many employees, doctors and patients to participate, but it started to really catch on and they all had a lot of fun doing it.

When the video gets 1 million hits, Medline will be making a huge contribution to the hospital, as well as offering free mammograms for the community. Please check it out. It's an easy and great way to donate to a wonderful cause, and who hasn't been touched by breast cancer?
