Pamela, Denver You are lovely to share your journey. Keep your light shining. You are beautiful!
Jill, Boulder Rhonda -- Thank you for sharing your story, and especially for bringing to light and validating concerns (like the emotional impact of hair loss) that so many people living with cancer share. Your story is healing and inspiring for so many. Thank-you.
Jeff and Lizzie, Reno, NV Rhonda, you are an inspiration and an amazing example of grace under pressure. You in a very real way have been a beacon of hope for our family in fighting this disease. The amazing courage and strength you show under what could be otherwise suffocating circumstances is nothing short of remarkable. Cory Hart once sang, \"No one can take away your right to fight and to never surrender\" - and of this sentiment you are the personification. Know you are in our prayers. God works miracles, and definitely - Love Heals.
Kelly, Niwot, CO Rhonda, what a gift it is to know you. Your authenticity, experience, and willingness to show up to every aspect of this (physical, emotional, spiritual, intellectual) has inspired my own journey through breast cancer treatment over this past year. And thank you Rocky Mountain Cancer Centers, both for great medical care, but also personal care, and for the Love Heals campaign. This is the TRUTH of healing!

Emily, Chicago Rhonda, you have been a mom to me, and I am so SO happy that Naomi sent these webisodes to me. I have missed you since you moved to Colorado and it is so nice to see your face again. I feel terrible that you are going through this again, but I also feel as I have always felt that you are an incredibly strong, amazing woman. You have raised two amazing girls and have always been a role model and a tower of strength. In any battle you face, even cancer, my money is on you! Keep believing and keep sharing! Thinking of you in Chicago. -Emily Houlihan

Kristen, Broomfield Rhonda, YOU are MY inspiration! Thanks to you we both made it through the summer and leaned on each other. When I met you, you amazed me with your strength and drive, and so much of that rubbed off on me as I went through my treatment for breast cancer. You are not just surviving, you are living courageously and helping others find the most positive side of any situation. LOVE truly heals.
