Cancer...killed!!


12 Chemos!! Done and done!! I am writing simply because I am so proud of Rachel and the fact that she has stood up to cancer and dealt with 12 ugly rounds of chemotherapy for the past 6 months. That is about 12 more rounds than I am sure any of us could put up with. Her journey is inspiring and now she has gone and started up a non-profit in order to make money and raise awareness about other people fighting the battle against cancer.

I cannot wait to show this website to my patients and for them to be able to order the t-shirts and temporary tattoo saying 'kill cancer.' I have already introduced the idea to a few of my favorite teenage patients and they love it and are so excited about it.

Rachel's organization is doing a big fundraiser event next July 4th and I am planning on attending. She also wants to sponsor one of my patients and their family. Amazing. The girl is unstoppable. How lucky I am to call her my friend.
