Volunteer / Survivor

My first experience with the Pink Sistas was a 3 day retreat in Salem.  I didn't realize how much I needed this until reflecting on it once I was home. 

The ladies I met were so inspirational to me.  They were all ages, all our diagnosis' were varying along with our treatments.  

While sharing our stories there was laughter, tears and so much love in the room it was very therapeutic. 

Sitting around the campfire at night visiting about anything and everything we learned other things about each other that continued forming the bond between us.  

The Pink Sistas is one organization to join if you are dealing with or have dealt with breast cancer.
