Hai Ellen,
I'm Shanna, not from America but from Indonesia. I am still 13 years old and I really want to do something. I really want to help because I know it is such an important case for all women in this world. My grandma had this and she died after 3-6 months being diagnosed. Tragic, and that was in the 1980s and I was not yet born. I really want to be an active member in organization for Breast Cancer and other organizations relating to Cancer and also organizations in Autism. I felt that in my age, I need to help because I still have the strength to help. I really want to help, and I actually have more organizations I want to help ( not only health wise like Breast Cancer, HIV, Autism but socially too.)

Thank youu

Last year my wife,Teresa and I went through two trying moments. Our first was me having quadruple bypass without little notice and within a week afterwards she was diagnosed with breast cancer. We never had much time cardiac rehab with her having to take radiation twice a day for a week and then going into chemotherapy treatment. With the grace and help of God we made it through it all. I enjoy your show and I watch it whenever I get the chance. Keep up the cause for the cure and may God bless.

Thank you. Susan G. Komen for the Cure is the most amazing organization with such a powerful story and promise between two sisters. What a remarkable thing Nancy G. Brinker did for her sister! I'm so proud to know Ellen is supporting this group.

I'm a ten year survivor of breast cancer. Funny, when I was first diagnosed I didn't want to use the "C" word in connection with myself at all. I tried to hide my chest x-rays and sonogram films when I walked into the local cancer center so I could pretend I was going in there for someone else.

I was really blessed to have a husband who gladly gave up a chunk of breast tissue to keep me around, and a best friend who was there for me every step of the way.

Hi Ellen!

I am 54, and I recently retired from teaching high school for 31 years to help out my elderly parents. I wanted to pass along my new venture to let everyone who is retired to get CREATIVE for a CURE!

I started a new business called Cabin Fever Crafts to raise money for Breast Cancer and Food and Friends (who deliver three hot nutritional meals to those with life-threatening illnesses in MD, VA, and DC.) I am not taking a salary for this so that more money can go to folks in need. I make crafts
(quilts, stamped diaries, and handmade cards) as well as buying crafts wholesale. I then sell the items retail at a very reasonable price! (Okay, I love to shop....)

My business is small,and is located in the beautiful town of Poolesville, Md. but I know it will grow because so many people are touched by breast cancer like my family has been.

My parents now have a new positive focus. They help me assemble my crafts, and we take field trips to purchase supplies. My 85 year old Dad even passed out flyers for me at the local grocery store!

Thank you Ellen for giving us a way to share ideas to fund and find a cure!

PLEASE READ! MY BEST FRIEND IN THE WORLD WILL START HER ABSOLUTE LAST OPTION AFTER YEARS OF SURGERIES, RADIATION, CHEMO, ETC. TO SURVIVE HER CANCER. I RECENTLY BECAME A SINGLE MOM AFTER 18 YEARS AND 2 BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN DUE TO SURGERIES, BEING DIAGNOSED WITH CROHNS AND MS. THAT IS MENTIONED SINCE MY "ANGEL OF A FRIEND" AND MOTHER OF 4 STARTS HER DAY BY CALLING ME AND STARTING MY DAY WITH "GOOD MORNING SUNSHINE" ELLEN, YOU ARE SO GREAT ABOUT SPREADING YOUR OWN SUNSHINE AND I WOULD LOVE HELP TO FIGURE OUT A SPECIAL WAY TO CELEBRATE MY BEST FRIEND, HERO AND HER COURAGEOUS BATTLE. I HAVE NO $ TO DO THIS WITH BUT LEARNED THROUGH THE LAST FEW YEARS HOW MUCH THAT DOESN'T MATTER WHEN YOU HAVE FRIENDS AND FAMILY. SO, MAYBE THERE IS A SURPRISE SHOW ON "ANGELS ON EARTH" ??? THAT I COULD GET HER TO FOR A SURPRISE? HER CHEMO STARTS AGAIN NEXT WEEK SO I DON'T KNOW HOW THIS WOULD WORK, BUT ANY IDEAS FROM ANYONE WOULD BE SUCH A BLESSING. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR ANY IDEAS OR HELP TO PULL SOMETHING OFF.
FROM THE HEART...

My Mom died as a result of breast cancer. First, it was the her right breast and about 29 Lymph nodes removed. We really thought she was getting better. We had one last beautiful Thanksgiving together in 1989. She had also just turned 60 on the 7th of November. Then they discovered a brain tumer. I am told it is the most common 'secondary' form of cancer. All I know is that she lived to be 60 yrs., and 5 weeks old. Christmas was her favorite holiday. We'd have wrapping contests, make ornaments, etc.. But she was gone! It was so awful...no more 'Hi, Mom!' phone calls, no more hugs, no more braiding her beautiful black hair. Her name was Virginia Louise (nee Matthews) Zavatto. She was my Mom and my friend. There is so much more I would like to ask her, but I can't except for in my dreams.
Who ever you are does not matter. Just make sure you tell all your loved ones that you love them and are glad to know them. And don't avoid asking the hard questions. EWven if you don't get the answer you wanted, or no answer at all, it will save you wondering long after they are gone. I believe they become angels and watch over us. Be happy that you were fortunate enough to have had that person in your life. Even if it's a relative you don't like and they didn't like you either...what did you LEARN from them? There's always something, even if it's a marigold.
Thankyou for listening. I still miss her (my Mom) and always will. It doesn't get easier, and I don't care if they that it does. You just learn to live with that void and cry when no-one's around, or with someone you love who understands.
the pain. Let's hope for a cure and no more mis-diagnosis.
Sincerely, Janet Louise Faith Zavatto

Hello,

I just wanted you to know that I work for Trinchero Family Estates and in October we donate $1.00 for every capsule sent in from Sutter Home White Zinfandel.

Hope this helps!!

Actually, we have the general cure for cancer already, including breast, pancreatic, liver, renal, blood, etc. The science has been developed over the past 25 years by a US scientist. The clinical trials are being conducted in another country so almost no one in the US knows about this. The fact is that we are achieving total remission in every patient. We have no fatalities. This is not Nanni juice, it is real science, it is just that almost knows about it yet. We achieve this by a major amplification of the immune system with the natural human peptide that stimulates the immune system and has no toxicity. This is all proven and verifiable. If you want to know the facts and really help then contact me. I represent the company that controls the science.

HEY ELLEN,THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO. LIKE YOUR MOMMY, I AM A BREAST CANCER SURVIVOR, 16 MONTHS FOR ME, I HOPE TO PASS THE DECADES CANCER FREE. WERE HAVING OUR FIRST CANCER WALK IN SAN DIEGO, ON OCT 19TH, THROUGH BALBOA PARK. WILL YOU COME AND WALK WITH US? I BLESS ALL THOSE WHO HELP FOLKS LIKE ME FIGHT,RECOVERY, AND NEVER GIVE UP HOPE!
