In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month, I would like to acknowledge some thoughts that have been shared with me over a couple decades while offering therapeutic touch to people living with cancer. My intention is that hearing these comments direct from the source may offer one some insight and compassion towards another’s point of view. These comments are not direct quotes but rather a collection of thoughts based on my personal experiences, and are not meant to speak for all people living with cancer. There is no judgment; these loving words are expressed with a higher purpose to create awareness.

When I was diagnosed with having this iron overload condition several years ago, I dubbed myself Rusty Robinson. A little humor lightens the uncertainty of what lies ahead, right?
