Hey Ellen
Please don't be so mean to your writer Lauren Pomerantz .
Please stop it.
Please don't be a sadistic boss .
Hi Ellen,
I'm an Aussie lady who absolutely loves your show. Thank you so much for the great joy you bring to so many people. I love to laugh and you help me to do that every day. Like you, I love animals dearly and I admire you greatly for your efforts to teach people to treat them with love, kindness and respect. Congrats to you and Portia on your recent marriage. You are so lucky to have each other. I lost my best friend six years ago to cancer and I still miss her every day. May your love and bond with Portia continue to be more precious every day. What a very special lady you are!
Hi, Ellen! I watched your show yesterday, exactly one week after a bilateral mastectomy and free-flap reconstruction. My dear husband hooked up my laptop today so I could order your Laugh Dance Cure t-shirts - 2 for me and 1 for my 29-year old daughter.
I truly am the luckiest cancer patient ever diagnosed. Through digital mammography and incredible docs, I was diagnosed at a pre-invasive stage and had plenty of time to think through my options. Today, I feel better than I have felt through 18 years of "watchful waiting". Something else will surely take me someday - but it's NOT going to be breast cancer!
Thank you for taking full advantage of your voice in the world to raise awareness of the need for early detection, and to send a message of hope for all women who face breast cancer. Because of people like you, I am sure that my daughter will have even better medical options available when it is her turn to make decisions.
Please, tell everyone you know to tell every woman (s)he loves to get her mammograms on schedule at the best digital mammography center she can find.
Best,
Lee

Thank you so much for all your hard work. My aunt had brest cancer and I miss her so much. It is great that you are raising money and awareness to find a cure for breast cancer. Also congratulations on your marriage. You both are an inspiration to everyone. I wish I lived in California so I could watch your show and so you could dunk me in the tank to raise 10000 dollars. Oh and also so I could vote for you to keep your marriage. You are so happy and you make millions of other people happy. I make sure I watch your show every day. My work is raising money for St. Judes Children cancer reaserch and I was wondering if you could please make a donation? My job is Buffalo Wild Wings in St. Clairsville Ohio. My name is Danielle. Thanks so much. We really appreciate it. You are the best.
I got the white and pink bucket cap at the October 2 taping and I can't take it off. Its so nice and comfortable. I like that hat so much... just to post for those who are interested in buying it...
Hi Ellen
Been watching your show from the beginning. Just got my Laugh Dance Vote Tshirt. Really nice.
So happy for you and your partner finally being able to marry. You both looked so happy and beautiful. I watch every day. I lost my best friend to cancer 12 years ago. Still miss her.
I love your guests especially the animals. Keep on doing what you are doing. It's great.
My mother is a TWO-time breast cancer "THRIVER" (as Olivia Newton-John calls it) and still going strong at 72! If it weren't for all the recent attention and support, I don't know that so many would make it through this. Thanks for your part! Women should check out liv.com for information on self-examination (and how to get a free kit!)
How much are the Pink boxer's? I am not able to pull this information up. I think you are great and my daughter and I watch your show every day. We would love to be able to meet you in person or come to one of your shows wearing the boxer's in support of breast cancer awareness. I have a sister who is a breast cancer survivor. Thanks for all you do.
Sincerely,
Tracey Hutchinson
Dear Ellen, Hi, I am an avid fan of your show and believe me, you are doing your job, by making people laugh, but when it comes time to be serious you are the one to listen to. My sister, Linda had a mastectomy eight (8) years ago. Thank God, she is now cancer free. She goes for checkups and has had good results. Unfortunately, her husband passed away in March 2007 from this dreaded disease. He was a great man who always made you laugh. He leaves behind his wife, Linda, a daughter, Holly, Holly's husband Mike and a granddaughter Ava Jo. Joe was a member of the U.S. Marines and was proud to have served our country.
Thanks for everything you do to make us laugh and be made more aware of the important things in life.
Keep up the great work.
Hi Ellen!!
My twin sister, Yolande, is a 7 year breast cancer survivor. Thank God she is doing well. I just bought two "Laugh, Dance, Cure" shirts at your store...one for her and one for me:-) Thanks to you and your staff for coming up with this wonderful idea.
Love you, Love your show,
Yvonne
Thanks Ellen for a great show today. I hope you have many more in October to continue to remind women about early detection. Early detection is what saved my life.
I was diagnosed 2 times by the age of 35. I am happy to say that I am now 45 and have been cancer free for 10 years. Tomorrow was the diagnosis day of my first cancer 12 years ago. I was a single mom with a 3 year old daughter at the time, working full time as a Special Ed. teacher in Los Angeles and going to school to finish my spec. ed. credential. What a different life I have now. I went on to get married to the man who I met just weeks before my mastectomy and we adopted 3 beautiful kids over the last 6 years. My daughters are just 13 days apart.
I am now very active in the breast cancer world and have raised over $120,000 for breast cancer research and education. I am hoping to raise money until we beat this disease and find a cure. I have walked in 9 60-mile walks, 2 40-mile walks and countless 5K walks.
My big push for this year is to raise money for FORCE- facing our risk of cancer empowered (www.facingourrisk.org). I would love for you to do a show with Sue Friedman (the founder of FORCE) as she is a wealth of information for women at high risk for breast and ovarian cancer. You can read about why this organization is so important to me by going to www.firstgiving.com/pinkwings
Thanks again for a fantastic show! Keep up the great work and congrats on your marriage.

Hi Ellen. I just wanted to thank you along with so many others who are raising awareness and money to help find the cure for breast cancer. I'm a 6 1/2 year survivor who was diagnosed again 6 mos. ago with bone and probably liver cancer. I've also been a diabetic for 28 yrs. (I'm 51) and had a heart attack at age 35 and lost my vision in my left eye and have chronic kidney disease due to the diabetes so because of these illnesses, I wasn't able to have an aggressive chemo but thanks to the medical world, I was able to, and still am able to fight this with newly found medications. I plan to live until the cure is found so please keep up the good work.
hi Ellen,. I am a breast cancer survivor of 4 years. currently undergoing chemo for stage 4. It is difficult but I think it is even harder on my daughter-in-law. Her mother also has stage 4 breast cancer. She and my son have 2 active girls (9 &15) and have all else involved in day to day living.Michelle is the person her mom counts on to ask questions, see that her mom gets what she needs, etc. She is trying to be strong and supportive while scared and upset. Fears for her daughters' risks for breast cancer are also there. Thank you for hi-lighting this disease and being so supportive in the fight. Any woman is at risk.
