There are many people in the park who have been faced with CANCER – either their own or perhaps their partner’s or child’s. The journey is a challenging one under the best of circumstances so Shirley Smedley and Jill Goldman are organizing a Cancer Support Group.
Whether you are currently facing the challenge or have a history to share – you will make a difference. Please join us Friday, August 6th at 10am at Site #9 on Creekside (Shirley & Ken Smedley) for our first meeting when we will develop a plan for when, where and how. Hope to see you there. Questions – Jill #42 (815-218-6178 / 1ccipuprzr@gmail.com) or Shirley #9 (805-298-2487)
Thanks,
Jill

Rita and I had a wedding photography business. We worked everywhere from the firehouse to the country club. After working one very long day at a country club, we found out that “ the help “ , dj and photographers were not to be fed. We didn’t care much for that so we took a few “ candid “ shots of the bride demonstrating her nastiness. We were fed. Blackmail? Hell yes ! 
It has been quite awhile since I last reported on my Cancer journey. There was supposed to be a story on the radiation treatments that were to follow the chemo. I bought the creams and lotion. Dug out the most comfortable bras. But continued to do my research. Not just with Dr. Google but with a couple of support groups I found on Facebook. My concerns were my age, (I am the oldest member in one of those group,). I am very fair skinned, I will say that I can get a sunburn from 100 wt bulb, not true, but you understand. And it is the left boob that is involved, so close to my heart and I am also an a-fib patient. I read all the directions and tips. Did you know that a cabbage leaf makes a perfect bra liner? Keeps all the ointment and lotions on the boob and not your clothes. But then I read from two different sources that radiation on seniors, 70yrs plus, had little or no benefits. That is when I decided to refuse it. One Dr. admitted it would not change my numbers, and my Primary Dr. was glad. Said there was no reason to put myself through that.
