Helping a loved one with cancer
Being diagnosed with cancer is something that no one should go through alone. Having the right support system to guide you through will make all the difference. Dr. Manny talks to cancer patient and founder of the Noreen Fraser Foundation about what family members can do to ease the burden
My chemo-free three weeks has come to an end. I used my time well and enjoyed visiting both of my children.
I also videotaped two television interviews on Huckabee about my fight with cancer. Mike Huckabee is one of the loveliest men I have ever met—sincere, kind and brilliant! We talked about my struggles and discussed the Mother's Day campaign currently being launched by the Noreen Fraser Foundation.
We must get more women to schedule mammograms and pap smears. The statistics are shocking how many women are not tested, even though early detection (Stage 1) nearly guarantees survival.
The Noreen Fraser Foundation is offering free, celebrity e-cards which can be sent to your wife, mother, grandmother, sisters, nieces, daughters and friends with an entertaining message which also reminds them to make an appointment for their mammogram and pap smear. More than 20 celebrities participated, including Jack Black, Neil Patrick Harris, Amy Poehler, Sarah Silverman, Will Arnett, Maya Rudolph and Jason Segel.
How fun would it be to receive a Mother’s Day e-card from a celebrity? It's a great idea and they are free!

Mother's Day is just around the corner. Do something wonderful for all the women you love! God Bless!
