Sharon, Dondi, Joye and many others we have met along the way come to Parker Avenue and most days you wouldn’t know they were anything but knitters, crocheters and vital members of our community. Some days they are vital members in need of our community. Be kind, be gracious, be patient and be open. In this family no one fights alone.
"Parker Avenue realizes the importance of community in building a relationships, thriving, and helping to support our fellow community members. I also recognized the need for community when I decided to change my lifestyle and fight cancer head on."
I find myself going round and round and round with this question over and over again what does the survivorship look like what is it all about what does it mean for me? The answer is only I can determine that and it’s some thing that I’ll be figuring out day in and day out for the rest of my life.
I hate that the symbol of breast cancer is a pink ribbon. To me the pink ribbon campaign feels dainty, small. It’s like some antiquated image of femininity and this disease came to challenge my sense of being feminine.
