Guest guest Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Hello, Thank you for allowing me an opportunity to jump in and share myself. Last week was my 2 year anniversary as a survivor of Stage III endometrium cancer. Just before Christmas day last month, I was declared " ODF " -- Officially Disease Free. I am a Legislative Ambassador to the American Cancer Society and the founder a support group called HART Fresh Start. We are doing a documentary about the " conversations people have about cancer and how certain conversations have a major impact on all of us " -- People say the darnest things about your cancer don't they? I study discourse and the nature of conversations so this is a very special project for me. A big part of this documentary surrounds a Mock TV Show / Workshop being held in Los Angeles where we will be discussing the discourse (conversations) about cancer as it pertains to it be caused by -- negativity -- leaving the cancer survivor with the impression that they have done some wrong or regrettable to cause their own cancer. Our audience will consist of cancer survivors and people who have been directly impacted by cancer. Everyone will have opportunities to speak up and share about their experience. The leader of this workshop will not be bringing " answers " to the table, but will help facilitate a rich conversation. Another big HUGE part of this documentary is a dance workshop in LA (see attached flyer). If you are cancer survivor and would like to experience something truly extraordinary -- I invite you to consider participating in this. Another way you can be a part of this documentary is by going to myspace http://www.myspace.com/hart_fresh_start or go directly to the youtube FOR ALL YOU SURVIVORS -- I absolutely respect wherever you are on your journey -- I embrace you and send you my love. A deep and humble bow. Thank you for making a difference for other survivors. I look forward to reading your postings and learning more about you. Much Love, Robin Carlson Yahoo!
