In this episode, Crytal chats about her busy week, with the boys being sick. Lise talks about her little experiment with the scale, and how that turned out. Lastly, we have a great interview with Christina Babulal. She just received her last Chemo treatment for Ovarian Cancer. She is the Mother of 2,has 2 border collies and is lucky enough to be married to her best friend Lyndon. Christina shares her story from the time she was diagnosed to the present. The oncologist on call, Dr Andy who is also a friend from church was present when whe went in to the emerg. That day, the oncologist, his wife as well as Christina and Lyndon started praying, and it was that moment when Christina realized she would be okay.
From there she saw a Dr at SunnyBrook hospital. One month later she underwent a total hysterectomy. She is now cancer free.
She was able to participate in the Look Good, Feel Better program at RVH. They provided her with a box of make up and a class on how to apply makeup as well as take care of her skin during chemo.
She really appreciated it when people generously brought food or gave her 1/2 hour notice (needed to apply make up and get the wig on) to come mop her floor. One lady sent her a note in the mail every few weeks. There are many smll things that we could do to support someone going through a tough time.
Because of this journey, Christina has stated "Inspired Bracelets" She has some ready made bracelets as well as make your own. A Bracelet party instead of a loot bag is a great idea.

Till next time, have a great active week
