You have my full support!

I made this card for Mom who had breast cancer eight years ago.  And we talked about it yesterday about her treatment since we know of someone else in the family who was diagnosed with a different cancer.  I worked in Oncology Reserach for 8 years and have spent much of my nursing career working with cancer patients.  I think that it is great that we support breast cancer; however, I wish we had support for all cancers and weren't so specific for just breast cancer.  Unfortunately there are so MANY types and the others don't get the same recognition and support.  All cancer sucks and no treatment is fun or goes on without interrupted the person's life.  I lost my husband almost four years ago to cancer and it was hard to watch him deteriorate over time. Cancer affects EVERYONE!
For my card, I used a set from Imagine That Digistamp called BCA Full Support and paper from Awareness Ribbons Pink as well as the Sweet Shoppe.  I did paper piecing on the bra.

Cancer messed with the wrong GIRL!

My Mother was diagnosed with Breast Cancer seven years ago and she remains cancer free.  My Grandmother was also diagnosed with Breast Cancer so this is something that is very important to me.  For many years, I worked as an Oncology Research Nurse so I have worked with many women over the years and the pink theme is something that I am quite aware of and support.  My image is from Imagine That Digistamp and is BCA Full Support and the papers are Awareness Ribbons Pink.  I added some stickles to the breast cancer loop in the sentiment as well as in the bra loop.
