My name is Paulette and my daughter's name is Chelsea. Chelsea was diagnosed with ASPS on December 12, 2012 at the age of 19. If you've read my blog post (Chelsea posted the link in the guestbook earlier) that I dedicated to her yesterday and you're now reading this, no doubt you've noticed my mistake. I stated that Chelsea was 18 at the time of her diagnoses when in fact she was 19. I'll be the first to admit that my memory isn't what it use to be!
As most of you can attest to, ASPS has changed our lives in a pretty drastic way! I've written some of the particulars of Chelsea's case in a blog post because I think it's important for ASPS to get as much attention as possible. For one thing, we need more funds for research and secondly, awareness is a powerful vehicle for change. This is the second time cancer has touched my life, the first being the loss of my mother to stomach cancer. So, I feel I have a duty to bring awareness to it in order to inform others and to help in the fight to find a cure. If you choose to visit my blog to find out more about Chelsea's case I would love it if you left a comment. Though I have a small audience, it's still an audience and I want people to know that you (the ones who deal with this disease daily) are here! Here's the link to the post: http://www.myurbanpastures.com/2014/05/ ... l?spref=fb.
If you would prefer not to view the details of Chelsea's particular case on my blog we'll be happy to answer any questions you may have here on the form. Chelsea and I are looking forward to getting to know each of you better.
Sincerely,
Paulette
