A Day of Care Packs in Pictures

Jessica is the front desk manager at the Grace Stephenson Cancer Center and she always greets me with a smile each time I go to chemo.

My grandmother just moved from Oregon to OKC,  and has taken it upon herself to start helping me with the  Cancer Care Packs. These care packs had an extra special “Nanny” touch with teal ribbon wrapped around the green tea bags

She didn’t get that darn vein to “float” as they say, which means push and hope it goes.. Looking away to pray!

Third time was a charm this go around. Chemo Tip: Drink lots of water!

Each Care Pack has a hand written note included.

I never knew “Teal for Tarah” would grow into “Tenaciously Teal” and I have the support and prayers of so many to thank for that!

Dragging the chemo pole around and handing out  Care Packs is the best part about coming to chemo.

This is a special lady battling a rare form of Breast Cancer She gave me some good advice about handing out Care Packs at a chemo center she initially had to go to, and one reserved for those without insurance. I am looking forward to visiting the infusion  center she spoke of and spreading some more smiles and encouragement to those who need to be praised for their FIGHT!

In the notes I typically try communicate to people that they are fighters  just by coming to chemo, encourage them try and keep smiling, look for the Cancer silver linings,and remind them that  somebody loves them!

Sometimes to keep fighting you have to look the other way pray and think happy thoughts!
