Dear Friends of the NLN,

The NLN staff and I wish you a Happy Holiday Season and good fortune for the New
Year. Every year, we are humbled by the love and support we receive from all over
the country. We are proud to have helped so many patients; many of whom have touched
our lives.

First and foremost I would like to thank those who have already donated to our End
of the Year Campaign. To find out how the NLN is serving the community, click here

We appreciate your generosity.

During this holiday season, as you rejoice and celebrate, consider Wrapping Together
[http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001BVXHHpT9NOMk4Y_n_HC1NkBReJ_UXflQYolRnt4fz25sl7YSXELsHUE41AgcUQK0rWmKChRC8jVRTdBjdGI-rSAwETjFTMqXZCZZ4NLNzEUEj9u6tUVKG62j2BemFPj7HRvCUnB4GTHCL3ENnz1xeA==]
and making a holiday donation to the NLN. The NLN is a 501(c)(3) organization and
all of your contributions are tax deductible.

As a national organization dedicated to lymphedema and related disorders, your gift
will directly benefit and provide support for lymphedema patients.

We are proud of our accomplishments including efforts to increase awareness, improve
care, and encourage new research. Due to the work of the NLN, significant progress
has been made in the management of lymphedema and lymphatic system disorders. However,
lymphedema remains unknown to many Americans. Even more concerning, many lymphedema
patients still do not receive adequate treatment. We need this to change.

Together, we can show that unified individuals and communities can make an impact.
Please take action and show your support for the work of the NLN by making a donation
this holiday season.

Just click here [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001BVXHHpT9NOMVY4_52gslmcuvNLQ0SbFt84Tn-8lenOqxnq8-aDpdGS9vulOfSB-Peoqyuo-Nm2MoMn_zCDQdo6Jo-1cpr4Giye1NAjHPmGMZrtUyEUbfXo2QHVJl9-nI]

About Breast Cancer: Grief, Loss, and Holidays

If you can't see this email, click here

Breast Cancer Breast Cancer Symptoms / Diagnosis Treatment Daily Life From Pam Stephan, your Guide to Breast Cancer I feel very sad about the senseless shooting of schoolchildren and teachers in Newtown, CT. Unexpected loss, particularly when caused by violence is numbing. Grief on holidays is even harder to deal with. Condolences to the families of Sandy Hook Elementary, may you receive comfort that brings eventual healing. When Grief Comes Home for the Holidays A friend of ours recently got a diagnosis of Stage 4 recurrence. Her time is short, and she's making decisions. I wrote her, to let her know how she made my life better. If you love someone, tell them now - don't wait. If you're grieving, give yourself time, and stick with supportive people. Search Related Topics:  holiday depression  grief and depression  Holidays, Stress, and Breast Cancer Here comes the holidays - and I am never ready! The year that I was in treatment for breast cancer was hard for all the obvious reasons, but when Christmas arrived, I felt positively flattened. Plan carefully, set some priorities, and take the holidays easy this year. Here's some tips to cope with holiday stress. Search Related Topics:  holiday stress  simple holidays  family stress Does Stress Increase Breast Cancer Risk? We have my sister and her family coming for the holidays! I am housecleaning, meal planning, shopping, gift wrapping, and stressing. This is all on top of being a full-time caregiver for my 87-year old father, and keeping up with my writing and research. I would rather de-stress than have dis-stress, but that'll have to wait until after New Years!
