Let's Get Colette In The Pink....

Good morning "Pinkies"
Welcome to my Pink Saturday post.

As always, please thank the beautiful Ms Beverly at
How Sweet The Sound for organizing and hosting
this fabulous event, each and every Saturday.

Please remember to go and check out her blog, and see the complete list of Pink Saturday "Pinkie" participants, and take the time to go and visit some of them. You will find the pinkest of "Pinkies" right here at Pink Saturday.

This is the story of a little girl named Colette. She dreamed of everything all little girls dream of, being a princess, being a ballerina, being a nurse for her dolly and someday being a Mom just like her Mom. She was going to meet her Prince Charming, have a little prince or princess of her own and live happily ever after. She did grow up, and she did become a Wife and a Mom. She is still praying for the Happily Ever After. Let me introduce you to Colette Gauthier. She is my Pink Saturday special guest.

Colette started having rib pain around October of last year. She did go to her doctor several times who was convinced it was a pulled muscle. Without doing any x-rays he wanted to send her to physical therapy. When she went for her routine mamogram, the technician went to place her breast on the "squisher" plate and said, "Aren't we doing just a routine screen today?" Colette told her yes and she said "Are you aware you have a lump?" Because SHE found the lump, she was able to get the doctors right away to set up more scans and an ultrasound. On Jan. 6th, Colette was diagnosed with breast cancer. It had already metastisized to the bones in her body. Thus, she is dealing with two cancers, breast cancer and bone cancer.

Colette is going this on her own. Her DH as she put it, got sick and tired of her being sick and tired, so he left. (She is still raising a 15 year old son.) I want us to be able to help her as she walks this path called "Cancer". Colette wanted to share her story today in hopes that each of us get our mammograms on time and continue to push our doctors when something does not feel right. Pink Post for Breast Cancer Patient. I have been given permission to post her address. I would love for each of you to send her a card letting her know we are praying for her, thinking of her, and that she is not alone. If you wish, please share her story on your blog, and get more bloggers to send cards to her too. I would love to over stuff her mailbox with well wishes and love to get her through these rough detours on this path called "Cancer" that she is traveling.

I asked Colette what she wanted to share with each of you today about cancer? She said, that she could not STRESS enough, how important it is to be PUSHY with your Dr. You know your body better than anyone else, if you fear there is something wrong, and one Dr. isn't listening to you, then find another one that WILL.

Here is Colette's address:

Colette Gauthier

714 Whitney Place

St. Louis, MI. 48880

Let's send all types of cards. Get Well Cards, Easter Cards, Love You Cards, home made cards, bought cards, or just a well wish in an envelope, just to let her know that there are all of us bloggers out here, with so much love and so many prayers to share. To let her know that somebody out here in this BIG wide world loves her, and will be praying non-stop for her a full recovery. Fill her box with love. That is what I am asking of each of you. Spend a stamp and send some love to a very beautiful woman. ISN'T SHE LOVELY?

As always, thank you for stopping by my little piece of heaven, here in the desert, that I so love to call home. Country hugs and love...
