I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

We are a non-profit cancer support group developed by survivors, FOR SURVIVORS!!

With that in mind, I do carefully consider who to add on as "friends" of ChemoTurtles. If you have a music profile, or give me a friend request from a site that promotes a cancer-fighting juice, a dating site, a night club, a band... you will not be added. If I do add you, and I see that you are posting bulletins or giving me comments that seem to advertise a non-cancer involved site, you will be deleted and a nasty comment will be placed on your page. I'm not here to advertise for you. I'm also not here to advertise for your independant business... i.e. Mary Kary, Jafra, Candle Lite etc. I don't throw parties. I will not help you by adding comments about your business. I'm here to advertise a nice, friendly, informative, cancer network.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I want to meet Lance Armstrong.
Lance, Thank you for the inspiration you have given us survivors. Thank you for being there for me, just through a book, so at the age of 24, I didn't feel alone with my cancer battle. Thank you for winning 7 Tours de Frances... AFTER beating cancer, to help us all realize that LIFE BEGINS AT CANCER!! You are family to me. I've cried with joy over your wins. Your wins are our wins. We are survivors. Thank you thank you thank you.
LIVESTRONG.
