The Day That Changed My Life - What Can I Eat?
When one has survived cancer, there is a temporary sigh of relief. However, the journey continues as the goal is to return to a normal life, at least as normal as possible. There are concerns that lingers, the fear of reoccurrence or a new cancer showing up at some point. In the meantime, getting on with living begins with some changes in the way we care for our bodies. Nutrition is key.
This week we feature nutritional advice from an Oncology Nutrition Dietary Specialist. Karen Sabbath of The Harold Leever Cancer Center shares some nutritional advice for cancer survivors. Each video has some key information that is necessary to maintain a healthy and well balanced life whether dining in or while you are out. Please share with everyone you know. Someone may know someone who needs to hear this :-)

The Day That Changed My Life - Amanie's Journey
While creating The Day That Changed My Life Cancer an uncertain journey we wanted to hear from those who have been touched by cancer. The newly diagnosed cancer patient, the parents whose child has cancer, the caregiver, etc. We reached out and the journeys flowed in. One of the journeys came through a parent whose child was diagnosed with retinoblastoma as an infant. No one can imagine the pain and tremedous concern that can overwhelm parents whose child is sick.
However, we are happy to share with you that Amanie has brought so much joy and great pride to her family as she conitnues to be a leader and a strong advocate for those with special needs as well as those who have been diagnosed with cancer. When Governor Andrew Cuomo proposed cutting the nearly $100 million budget for the schools which includes the , turning the funding responsibilities over to local school districts, Amanie found her way to Albany to let her voice be heard. It did not matter that she was a senior and was moving on to the next phase in her life. Ms. Riley understood how important it was for the other students to have the same opportunities that allowed her to excel academically. Thankfully, the governor changed his position and said that the state will keep paying for the schools. Amanie graduated from high school as the Valedictorian and headed off to college where she continues to grow in her leadership skills.
Today Amanie is a college student and she was a speaker for the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life Fighting Cancer event at Mercy College. Amanie takes her assignment to uplift and encourage others as she shares her journey with everyone. We are so proud of her and we will continue to follow her progress.

The Day That Changed My Life - I Survived Cancer 12 Times
Amazing! Simply amazing! I found another cancer survivor who we hope will bring you great hope and lots of inspiration. Her name is Brenda Emer she shares her journey with cancer - breast cancer and then some. Here's a brief bio as copied and pasted directly from youtube.
Brenda has been battling cancer for the last 16 years. She was originally diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer, and since then has battled several different kinds of cancer. She is a warrior and is the true definition of inspiration. She has recently been enrolled to participate in a clinical trial, but when she went for her preliminary testing, her doctors found that the cancer had spread; this time it is located in her brain and liver. She is currently undergoing radiation treatments, as soon as the radiation is complete she will be starting a new clinical trial in hopes of getting the cancer in remission.
More importantly we invite you to share with everyone you know. Someone may know someone who needs to hear this.
