Way to go Corey...


My grandson Corey had his confirmation this week. He needed to chose his confirmation name .

He chose as his name Maurice.

I asked him; “ why Maurice”

He said : “You know Omi Maurice is the patron Saint of the soldiers and many of them need a lot of prayers”.

I was truly touched by this, and very proud of him, especially since our soldiers are another cause that is close to my heart.

SOS please help to get the message out !!!!!!

Today I talked to a friend who I had not seen since last summer.
In the meantime she was diagnosed with breast cancer ( DCIS . ductal carcinoma in situ) and had a double mastectomy 6 months ago.
This is the 2nd friend of mine this year who did not know that there are other options, like the vaccine trial etc. for DCIS.
Lots of doctors are not aware of the fact, that there are new options and that this form of breast cancer is isolated from other types. It is patients beware. Please get second opinions and educate yourself on the web about what is out there.
As soon as we can get the funding together trials will start also for brain cancer, melanoma, ovarian and pancreatic cancers… using the ICAIT ( immune conditioning activated innate transfer with dentritic cells) in lay mans terms called vaccine to prevent and treat cancer...

Please check www.penniesinaction.org
And http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-z3RVwReEg

If diagnosed with cancer please give yourself, a loved one or friend the knowledge of all the options and the best possible chance of survival by making an educated choice !!!!!!!!

WOW what a night of Skating in Vancouver


It was so wonderful for me to watch the Ladies event last night from Vanvouver Olympics.
I was looking forward to this because it marked a big anniversary for me.
Last Olympics in 2006 I watched the ladies finals from my hospital bed after I just had gone thru cancer surgery that morning. I am feeling awesome now and could not believe what a difference in 4 years...
Then watching my former student Brian Orser standing on the boards as coach and mentor of Yu Na Kim and living thru her amazing performance …!!!. It brought back such memories of Calgary 1988… The battle of the Brians…. His disappointment … my aching heart for him ….
Then seeing his triumph 22 years later , back in Canada …His student becoming the Olympic champion with a record breaking and stunning performance… The joy I feel for him is impossible to put into words….
All I can say is WOW…WOW…WOW…WOW…
I know his mom Joanne is smiling in heaven….
