Shortly after I publicly announced my cancer diagnosis on Facebook, I received the above photo from a friend in Las Vegas. I had never seen the purple and green ribbon before, so naturally I Googled it. Little did I know there were so many ribbons and colors for every kind of cancer imaginable.
But I still had to do a little searching for the meaning of the purple and green.
I finally found it.
But in the end, ALL the colors matter because . . .

You go, girl! Carry on. ✊🙏
ReplyDeleteI’ll do my best. 💜💚
DeleteHumor and Strength, a winning combination for you, Susan. g
ReplyDeleteThank you Gene. I know there will be some tears mixed in, but I’ll fight like hell.
DeleteI did not know about all these colors. For now, be strong, ask for help when needed. And stay safe.
ReplyDeleteI didn’t either! And yes, I’ll be strong as I am able. Thank you for your support.
ReplyDeleteMy dad died in his 40's from colon cancer. Cancer is so much more a beatable enemy than it was in 1975. I know you are a warrior, but you are not one to swing the sword wildly in a panic. You're smart and savvy and you know the value of enlisting advocates to fight with you. Or at least take good notes and ask penetrating questions. Much affection and hope from your comrade and fellow metaphor-ist. (One thing I learned from my dad was the power of humor, and there you are fully armed!) ❤💪

ReplyDeleteI didn’t know about the color either. It’s sad there are so many different kinds but I’m glad they’ve been identified.
