What's New @ Renee's Survivor Shop?
NEW BOOK IN STOCK! Be sure to check out our latest book addition: "The Lighter Side of Breast Cancer Recovery: Lessons Learned Along the Path to Healing" Tammy Miller's book helps us to understand that life is about choices, and that we have many more choices than we realize!
NEW THERAPEUTIC DOLL IN STOCK! Komfy Kids™ are therapeutic dolls that have been designed to assist in the psychological well-being of children with hair loss due to cancer, alopecia, or the hair loss of a loved one. Renee's Survivor Shop now stocks these therapeutic aids to help children overcome the stigma and trauma associated with hair loss. Great as a teaching tool for schools, groups, and medical settings. Comforting girl aid comes with one free wig of your choice! Be sure to specify which wig you would like.
Publishers Weekly had this to say about our latest book entry: "The spark for this collection of gorgeous and inspiring photographs of women who've become bald from chemotherapy was film and television writer Hunsicker's initial reaction to her own cancer diagnosis: the fear of becoming bald trumped her fears of mere death. The resulting book is powerful medicine, and not just for women undergoing cancer treatment. Shot by 59 leading photographers, such as Duane Michals, the book features women of all shapes, sizes, colors and nationalities, and they illustrate an important point: their subjects' distinctive talents, interests, identities and personalities. In these bold and imaginative photos, a Florida Supreme Court Justice presides over a court session, a designer lounges astride an elephant in fuchsia formal wear, a doctor's face grins from the center of a rising moon. Short statements accompanying the photographs are equally eloquent. Model/writer Sharon Fryda Blynn describes overhearing three young men making fun of her during a commuter train ride. As they exit, one of them says, "God forgive me if this woman has cancer." She tells him and witnesses his shame. "I was thinking," she writes, "just for that brief second, I pushed a button... so that... the next time they see a bald woman, they might... smile and say, 'You look beautiful today,' and make her feel better." (May, 2006)"

It is important in its' protection of Medicare homecare
beneficiaries and small businesses like myself, who provide homecare,
personal supplies. I fear that without its' support, competition could surely
be affected and customers may not be able to choose to come to a
specialty shop such as Renee's for services etc.
If you would be willing to assist in the support of this bill, I will
be collecting signatures at the shop, and forwarding a petition to Rep.
Marcy Kaptur (D-OH).
For more information on this, please stop by the shop. Thanks for your
support!
