The Fighting Rose (stomach Cancer Awareness)

03/01/2024

I haven’t been on here through The Fighting Rose in so long but I continue to see people like and follow. I appreciate you all so much. I think it’s time I come back and help spread awareness and stories of those that are fighters, survivors and caregivers.

I came across all these pill bottles while throwing stuff away today. Not sure why I kept these. Maybe I felt some weird comfort. These belonged to my Mom. She had to take these every day just to deal with living life as a person with cancer. We can sit here and share those long dragged out, if you support cancer post all day. It Doesn't really help and doesn't help those that have no idea what the person fighting has to go through. Along with what there family and friends have to endure. Here is a small look into the life of a person living with cancer. This is not how any of us should have to live. Even though I miss her every freaking day. I'm happy she doesn't have to live like this anymore.

My she rest in peace. She survived 9/11 which is amazing. I'm sure she battled stomach caner with everything she had. Stomach cancer needs to be looked at and talked about more.

Marcy Borders, the woman who became known as the “Dust Lady” from the iconic 9/11 image taken of her, dazed and covered in ash, after the south tower of the World Trade Center collapsed, has died of stomach cancer, according to her family. She was 42.

Hey everyone I don't know this young lady but her dad was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. I know first hand how tough it is for a child to their parent sick.

Hello everyone,
I've missed you all. I didn't forget about just been trying to get myself in a good place. A lot of ups and downs but that's really no excuse to stay away from those that have been there for me in my darkest days and that's all of you. Well getting back into the swing of things means finally creating the website for The Fighting Rose. I want you all to understand everything that is done is done by yours truly (Me) so at times I get into a funk, and start to miss my mom. So I started staying away from things that remind me of her. Afraid if I don't I'll drive myself crazy, but that's not fair to you or what I promised my mom. That I will help the stomach cancer community spread awareness. I will help make the voices louder. I hope you guys are doing well. So get ready for all my many post and asking you all if I can share your voice to the world.

Please pray for Leah and her family. No one should have to go through this.

Caregivers are very important as well

Caregiving is one of the most important ways we show love to those important to us. There is no big paycheck, medal or award for being a cancer caregiver, but it's what we do for love.
