The Ribbon Salon in Indianapolis provides free services to cancer patients and caregivers once a week, such as massages, manicures, pedicures, and more. The salon provides these services through donations and is always looking to spread the word.

My friend Sunny, has breast cancer and is in need of a wig.Does your organization do home visits so she can obtain one from you in the privacy of her home.She is a very kind Korean nurse who I have worked with for years & I would appreciate any help you could offer her .I will provide my name& info so I can dis cuss it with her because she is a little self conscious about her hair loss.I woulld also appreciate any other services you could provide for her.I myself am disabled & am unable to assist her at this time other than provide emotional support.I would greatly appreciate any help you could offer her & if she agrees because she is shy I will give you her phone number.I can only do this with her permission,io do not want to add to any more stress she has.She has asked me about needed to get a wig.Thank you so much.Sincerely,Yvonne Aviles)856) 629-8126.

I just want to thank those careing people. My breast cancer fight was in October of 1999. I had as lumeptemy, kemo and radiation and had to work doing all of it I was off two weeks after the surgery but had to work while going through kemo and radiation. Thank God for a great family and friends.
I think it is wonderful ther are more aware groops out there to help women through this. My mom was diagnoset with breast cancer while I was going through treatments. We lost her to breast cancer. Both of her sisters had breast cancer one died of it her baby sister is a surviver.
Keep up the good work God Bless all of you.

OMG!!!! I just finished 9 months of chemo and about to begin reconstruction for breast cancer.
What a wonderful thing to post for women - When I was home after having my mastectomy I had alot of time to think I felt beaten up, disheartend and a stranger to myself when I looked in the mirror.
This is a wonderful program and opportunity for any woman going through breast cancer and I would tell all my "sista's.."Take it", one thing my boss told me as I work in a hospice facility and she is a wonderful person from Tranquility Hospice she told me on my bad days "OWN IT" don't let it own you and I kept these words all the way through.
My dear friends out there who are going through this as much as the fight seems so disheartening take advantage of this wonderful opportunity and remember "OWN IT" dont let it own you
My love and well wishes to you al
