When you are diagnosed with cancer, the world becomes a smaller, gentler place. I have a theory this occurs because any interest in the trivial and all that separates us from one another falls away. The focal point of reality is reset to include only that which is meaningful -- kindness, forgiveness, compassion and love. The awareness of the interconnectedness of life becomes a continuous one. We are all on this planet together. Together we heal. 

Chemo Angels is a dedicated organization of cancer survivors and caring individuals whose lives have been touched by cancer. Each volunteer is paired up with a cancer patient undergoing chemotherapy for the purpose of making the physical, emotional and mentally rigorous days of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation treatments a little brighter. Chemo Angels send cards, cheerful notes, and small gifts of encouragement and support.  If you are a cancer patient, you are invited to sign up for a Chemo Angel. The service is provided through the postal mail, so your location is unimportant. Chemo Angels have many international patients.
