Letter to the Representative

-
Dear Representative Rogers,

Hope today has been a great day. I wanted to follow up with you after yesterday’s great conversation! I’m so excited to get a positive response from you. I hope that while you were contacting Senator Warren and the team, that they were just as enthusiastic.

I am sending along a bit more research that I’ve done to fill in some gaps and hopefully make your job a bit easier. I gathered the names of the representatives who initiated each of the following bills and their contact information. I figured they wouldn’t talk with me because I am an out of state bug and they have plenty of bugs of their own to deal with! That doesn’t mean they wouldn’t respond to you or Senator Warren in an effort to team up/cosponsor and bring it back to legislation.

Here are the following bills that have been brought up this year that I found particularly interesting. Each accompanies the sponsor and their contact information so you don’t have to go search for it yourself:

H.R. 80 Triple Negative Breast Cancer Research and Education Act of 2013: ACS CAN has not taken a position on this bill, but supports NIH and NCI research on triple negative breast cancer research.   NCI has identified research in this area a priority for the institute and so our focus has been increasing research at the NIH to make additional progress in cancer prevention and treatment which will have a bigger impact on breast and other types of cancer.

ACS CAN and the Society have strongly supported the ability of a physician and patient to freely discuss and decide together what treatment, including length of hospital stay, is medically n

Pretty Little Magic

Dear Tamoxifen, You better do all you say you are gonna do. I was told that you are responsible for keeping my slow-growing cancer at bay for the next 10 years. All I have to do is take you! That’s pretty simple. As in any relationship, I hear that you are planning to give me hot flashes, vaginal dryness, discharge, or irritation; and decreased interest in sex. Of course you will. If it’s not weight gain, it’s gotta be sex drive and everything else so intimate and personal.  Well, since we will be getting to know each other, I am going to accept you with an open mouth. But I really need to know something first. Tell me why I didn’t acknowledge all the side effects of the birth controls I took when I was younger? I never put the pressure on Depo Provera or “the pill.” I didn’t care that breast cancer was a major side effect. Osteoporosis was the big scare, not breast cancer. I was poppin’ Tums like crazy to make sure my bones were made of steel. I don’t mean to hold you to such high st

T-Shirts and Goodies

Sometimes when we purchase a T-Shirt for a cause, it is simply out of generosity. Or maybe it is a lighthearted gesture to see community member through with his or her goals. But, I cannot help to think that you are purchasing this shirt because you have been moved by emotion after reading through my site. Thank you for supporting the establishment of my very own Paint Her Pink Foundation.
