If you've been reading my blog, you probably know about my friend Kim who was diagnosed last fall with Stage 4 Inflammatory Breast Cancer. With the help of great doctors, lots of friends and family and lots of laughter, Kim has kicked cancer's ass! Her chemo brought her from a 15 cm. tumor to not detectable. She still faces a radical masectomy and radiation, but the prognosis is nothing short of miraculous.
Kim is a HUGE Boston Red Sox fan. She grew up in Orange, MA and regularly sports some kind of Boston apparel, whether a hat, a shirt or a necklace that our friend Mary custom made for her. She has applied to MLB to be an honorary bat girl for the Sox on Mother's Day. What she needs is votes...so if you are out there and reading this, please click on the link below, scroll down to Miss Kim and vote early and often. Send it to everyone you know. After what she has been through, this would be the biggest moment for her.
Please pass this on to anyone and everyone you know. Kim's team has been busy helping, supporting and laughing for almost 8 months since she has been diagnosed. We want this SO bad for her, but we can't do it without you!
Thanks!

Please let Kim know about http://toddlerplanet.wordpress.com
Susan is my best friend and an IBC survivor. She is an excellent resource.
I don't know if Kim is a mom or not, but there is also the Mothers with Cancer blog. You can find the link at Toddler Planet.
Best to Kim. Good luck with the Sox!
