You Are Not Alone

by Karen Lynch

Atlanta’s Shades of Pink Choir — a choir comprised of survivors celebrating survival through song — has performed for over 150,000 people in over 30 venues in the United States since 2004. Here’s a video clip that makes me weep:

Music is such a powerful weapon — moving us to tears, to action, to triumph. What a great way to inspire and support. I felt lovingly cradled by the voices of these women and I’m not even in treatment at the moment. If I could, I’d hug every single one of them. Every single one. I wish I could see them perform.

Now tell the truth: how many tears dripped onto your keyboard while you listened and watched?

About Discussing Breast Cancer

Discussing Breast Cancer is the place for survivors, their friends and family members to turn for information that will empower them to navigate through the storm they may find themselves in before, during or after a breast cancer diagnosis.

Many of the posts are about the author's personal experience as a two time survivor. In addition, Discussing Breast Cancer is loaded with timely news and information about the disease, it's symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment. It will also reference the myriad of sites, individuals and organizations that either raise money and/or awareness for the cause or in some way contribute to researching a cure or serving breast cancer survivors worldwide.
