Don't know if you have the results of your mammogram yet or not. Been praying for good news for you. Mine is due also, but haven't gotten my oncologist's go ahead yet. That is needed here if you've had breast cancer previously.
Finished your book from cover to cover this time around. It made even better reading than when I cherry- picked it at the hospital..lol. All the insight you shared of your family and friends made me feel almost as if we sat talking at the kitchen table over a cup of coffee. Knowledge and positive attitude...can't say enough about them, and your story helps drive that home. Thank you again for sharing that with everyone in your book.
Wishing you the Best News,
Joyce

Hi Connie! More power to ya, Girl! I'm a fellow writer, and contributor to Ben Romero's books. I had a bilateral mastectomy, although no cancer was present...long story, but I can relate to the emotional pain. I've also known many breast cancer survivors. Times are changing, and more people (yes, men and women) are coming through it with renewed spirit! Thank God for that, and for your bravery, humor, and survival! Keep writing!!! Always, Linda

Hi Connie,
Lois passed on the e-mail to the old chat room mailing list and as a result I was privileged to hear your interview. Thank you for your efforts, both in the interview and through your book, in bringing some awareness and education to breast cancer. Hopefully you and I are the only ones on the e-mail list that have had or will have to deal with breast cancer, but statistics are weighed against that.
Your book is wonderful! It is so close to the story I would tell if I had a gift of words they way you do. My oncology center is ordering several copies of your book to place in the waiting rooms and the chemo room. I know it will be an attitude changer and a comfort giver to so many as they travel the path through cancer care.
I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in the fall of 2006 and was very fortunate to have an informative and supportive medical team from the oncologist, to the surgeon, to the chemo room nurses and the radiation techs. Even the receptionist at the cancer center became a friend. What little I knew about the disease and fighting it fit into a thimble with room to spare. The lump was removed. The lymph glands on the left side removed, and finally the breast removed when the lump reoccurred. Chemo rendered me hairless except for my eyebrows and 36 radiation treatments gave me a beautiful patch of tan. Treatment finished in April 2007 on my 62nd birthday and there have been no further indications of cancer. It was the best present of my life!
The best of health and happiness,
Joyce

Connie, I picked your book up while you were at the funeral home. We were sorry to hear about Dave's dad. I know what you are all going through. I lost my mother in March. Anyway I can't stop laughing, crying or reading since I started your book. It is wonderful. You did it baby........... I know you will kick butt on that radio station but good luck anyway. jackie

Hey Connie,
I had to send you a note. My sister, Toni Kitchen, let me borrow her copy of your book. I started reading it this week and didn't want to put it down until I was finished. Fantastic work!!! I got angry with you; laughed my butt off; and cried rivers as I was reading it. Did you send a copy to Oprah??? She needs to read this!! You and your reconstructive Dr. need to be on her show. Everyone, men and women alike, need to read this. This disease touches everyone at some time in their life. Congratulations on winning your fight.
All my best to you. Can't wait to read your next book.

I finally finished your book. I had to take some extra long lunch breaks this week because I got alot of overtime on Monday. Many times it brought tears to my eyes, sometimes with your sadness and often with your triumphs. The third from the last line in your epilogue was really well placed and tied the whole book together. It made the book a celebration of survival.
One of the people I work with recognized your book and said that her sister(in law?) was reading it in Tennesee. I told her that I doubted if it was a signed copy. ;o) Others asked if they could have it when I'm done and I told them to look for it in bookstores and online.
By the way, I'm jealous of the relationship you and David have. He is a special wonderful person and just what you needed as you went through this. I'm also glad Ryan and Amber have their lives under control and were able to represent to you the satisfaction that you are a great parent. I'm looking for Katie in the NFL.
Take care,
Pete
PS. Sorry it took so long to read but it was good to read when I had extra time after I ate my lunch.

Hi Connie,
Sorry it's taken so long for me to get back to you. It's not that I haven't been thinking of you or your kindness in giving me a copy of your book. I pray for you every day and know that you are in God's hands.
I must admit that when Tom brought me your book, I wasn't sure how I felt about it. I was still regrouping from my surgery and I guess still not wanting to think about having cancer. I had quit work a year or so ago because my blood pressure and diabetes were out of control. I told Tom I was taking a year off to get myself healthy. I started walking, eating better and taking good care of me. I can't begin to tell you how shocked I was to find out I had cancer. I think I was probably feeling the best I had felt in my life.
When I finally picked up your book and started to read it, I couldn't put it down. You wrote about all the feelings I was having and all the fears of what was coming. I can't begin to tell you how it made me feel to know that my feelings weren't out of the ordinary. I cried listening to you tell your story and how cancer affected not only you but your whole family. And I was given hope reading how your family and friends were there every step of the way getting you through.
I never really understood the relationships that Tom had and has with his friends in Ohio. They are all he's talked about since we got married 33 years ago. I just figured he was living in the past and must admit that it got on my nerves at times. But after reading about friendship in your book and the wonderful things you said about Tom and Dave and Gary, I feel as if I'm getting to know a different side of Tom. The type of friendships that you guys have are rare and he is so blessed to have all of you. I understand now why he seems so lonely at times. Losing Dave and Gary hit him quite hard and now I have a better understanding of why.
The rest of my family is now reading your book. I don't think you'll ever realize how many lives you will touch with this book. I know anyone reading it will cry, laugh and have hope. I'll never be able to thank you enough for that.
I continue with my journey and have to admit that although I would have liked to skip this cancer thing, I have received many blessings from it and one is having you as a sister. Take care Connie and thanks for being our friend. Love, Kathy
