		<description><![CDATA[An area that seldom goes mentioned when we talk about breast cancer patients is the effect on the patient’s spouse and family, especially if the patient loses their battle with cancer. Recently at the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer, where 1in9 got its start, a new program has been started to offer support to widowed fathers who had lost their spouse to cancer. Believed to be the first group of its kind, the group helps fathers with the struggles that follow the loss of their wife and the mother of their children. While not specific to breast cancer, we wanted to share this unique program that was featured on NBC’s Today Show this past Monday, March 25.

		<description><![CDATA[Earlier this week we sent out an email with the below comments from some of our patients. Expressing the impact 1in9 had on their treatment. We explained that for a variety of reasons, we couldn’t always tell the complete story or give all the details, but we asked for comments from patients that we could share. Here is what they said. M. H. “Very thankful for 1in9. My husband was laid off and 1in9 has helped me continue my treatment.” N. W. “1in9 has been wonderful to me.” P. V. “I could not have made it without 1in9. I would have not made it through my treatments” “I love everyone at 1in9.”  They are an inspiration to me.” D. H. “1in9 has kept me alive with food and gas money.” “1in9 is awesome.” At the same time, we were also able to fill the empty freezer of a patient who was in need. Once again reinforcing the old saying, “A picture is worth a 1000 words.” Thank you all for your support.  You have made a difference in the lives of these women, and others everyday through your support of 1in9.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Earlier this month we posted a video that briefly explained Lymphedema, a condition of localized fluid retention and tissue swelling caused by a compromised lymphatic system. And introduced you to patient Sherri, who was getting measured for a Lymphedema sleeve, which is designed to apply pressure to the arm, and hand to keep lymph moving in the right direction. We wanted to follow-up with this photo taken earlier this week, with Sherri showing off her new sleeve. So far so good. We’ll continue to keep you posted. Thank you to all the Friends of 1in9 who help make this possible. &#160;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday we met 1in9 patient Sherri G. and Certified Compression Fitter, Christina Bernard to get Sherri measured for a Lymphedema Sleeve. Lymphedema is a condition of localized fluid retention and tissue swelling caused by a compromised lymphatic system. Tissues with lymphedema are at risk of infection. It is most frequently seen after lymph node dissection, surgery and/or radiation therapy, in which damage to the lymphatic system is caused during the treatment of cancer, most notably breast cancer. In this video, 1in9 Founder, Stephanie talks with Sherri and Christina Bernard about the use and fitting of the Lymphedema Sleeve 1in9 will be providing.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tears of Joy Last week we asked for help with a patient, who due to some post-surgery complications, was in need of a recliner for sleeping in.  The response we received was overwhelming. Friends of Fight for 1in9 offered monetary donations to help offset the expense of a used recliner, some put the word out around their offices, and we even had someone offer a donation of a chair they were no longer using. It was truly inspirational to see such an outpouring of support. This past Friday we were able to deliver the recliner. It was a moving experience to hear the high-spirited reaction and see the tears of joy when we set down the chair.  It has been said, a picture is worth a 1000 words. I think we got more than that from this picture. What do you think? Michelle P. was absolutely moved to tears when we brought in the recliner..Michelle said,  &#8220;I just can&#8217;t believe that someone&#8211;you guys&#8211;would help me like this.  You are a true blessing.&#8221; As we mentioned, Michelle had some complications from her recent surgery and has been unable to lie flat to sleep.   Even with pillow bolsters, she could not get any rest.   So, when we came in with the recliner, Michelle and family were just thrilled to get such a great chair and even more excited that Michelle could finally get a good night&#8217;s rest. &#8220;Our Michelle is quite a trooper and has really been doing well, &#8221; said husband Byron.  And quite a trooper she is&#8211; Michelle has had over 130 surgeries in her lifetime as she also suffers from arthrogryposis&#8211; a rare congenital disorder that is characterized by multiple joint contractures and can include muscle weakness and fibrosis. The disease derives its name from Greek, literally meaning &#8216;curved or hooked joints. But don&#8217;t think this slows her down&#8211; No Way! She can scoot quickly around anywhere or husband Byron or one of their two teenage children,  is always close by&#8211;ready to take her wherever she needs to go. Thank you 1in9 friends!! You continue to amaze us with such giving hearts. To help Michelle or any others, please contact Stephanie- steph@1in9.com or Kevin  kevin@1n9.com. &#160;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Before the holidays we shared that 1in9 would been able to expand our reach through the creation of the 1in9 Women’s Cancer Fund at Rex Hospital’s Cancer Center. Today we had an opportunity to meet with the Rex Team who will be working directly with patients and helping to distribute the funds to them. It was a great meeting, with all of us getting a chance to introduce ourselves and tell a little about who we are and how we got to where we are.  We were able to share the 1in9 story and hear from those who have the day-to-day interaction with patients and the important role organizations like 1in9 play in the treatment of those in need. It’s a new chapter in the 1in9 story and we are excited about the foundation growing.  More importantly, we are excited and energized to know we will be able to make an impact in lives of more patients being treated for breast cancer. Lastly, we are honored the so many Friends of 1in9 have provided their financial, physical, and emotional support through their giving, volunteerism and hugs to help make a difference. Thank you, Team 1in9]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s Official! We are pleased to announce 1in9 will now be supporting breast cancer patients being treated at Rex Healthcare! Shortly after our founding, we had an opportunity to sit down with the folks from the Rex Healthcare Foundation as well as some of the hospital staff. The goal of the meeting was to share the 1in9 story with staff members of the Rex Cancer Center and Rex Healthcare Foundation and to hear about the amazing work being done by the team at Rex for patients being treated for cancer. During the meeting, we realized there was a need for a 1in9 program at Rex.  After that meeting we knew, we wanted to expand our reach and set a goal to do so, but recognized we needed to walk before we could run. Fast-forward 18 months, today we realized our goal by making our first installment to the 1in9 Women’s Cancer Fund at Rex Hospital. The Fund will support approximately 60 patients over the next 12 months being treated for breast cancer by making certain they have the financial means necessary to get to and from appointments, purchase food, and pay for out of pocket expenses associated with the diagnoses of this disease. Insuring these patients are able to complete their course of treatment. We are extremely excited to be able to share the news of our expanded reach and look forward to supporting even more patients in need in 2013. Thank you to all the 1in9 supporters for helping make this possible. &#160;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses—Abraham Lincoln. There was no complaining going on when I met Stacey (name changed at request of patient).  She was truly just glad to be here. My new friend had been diagnosed with Breast Cancer in late July, had a bilateral mastectomy in early August, and was preparing to start her chemotherapy treatment in September. Up to this point her treatment and surgeries were provided outside of UNC, but after feeling uncomfortable about her surgery, she decided to seek a second opinion at UNC’s Lineberger Cancer Center.  It quickly came to light that she was going to need another surgery, more chemo than originally thought, and possibly radiation. Stacey’s first thoughts were—what am I going to do? How am I going to pay for all of this? How will I get to &#38; from Chapel Hill for the right treatment? You see, Stacey had already closed her business after her diagnosis and as a small business owner, didn’t have other employees to continue in her absence.  She also didn’t have insurance or a spouse to lean on. With so much hardship, most people might cave in or just give up….but not Stacey. Stacey’s family is helping as much as they can. Her sister Linda, a nurse, has become her primary caregiver and driver. Stacey’s brother and family have moved into her home to help pay her mortgage.  With no income or insurance, however, her treatment costs are overwhelming.  Not only are her treatment costs overwhelming, but the gas to &#38; from the hospital, her medicines, and groceries have taken every bit of savings that she had. “Now, With 1in9’s help, I’m able to get to my treatment and have food to eat without constantly worrying about how to pay for it. I’m so grateful to the people that are willing to help me and don’t even know me.  I will be ready to do the same for others once this is over.” &#160; There are so many patients just like Stacey that need our help….If you are interested in learning more about Stacey or any of our other patients, please contact us at info@1in9.com or 919.582.9698.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On September 27, 2012, Smith Debnam held their Cynthia V. McAlister Memorial Golf Outing, which honors their former partner Cynthia, who lost the battle to cancer in 2006. As they did last year Smith Debnam choose 1in9 as the beneficiary this year and was able to provide 1in9 over $5000 of much needed funding to help 1in9 continue the cause of supporting patients being treated for breast cancer. In this short video, Executive Director, Betsy Saintsing expresses her thanks to attorneys and other members of the Smith Debnam team while presenting them with a certificate of appreciation Another beautiful day in North Carolina and an even better day on the golf course….This can be said about so many days, but September 27th, 2012 wasn’t just one of those days. This day was set aside as a day to honor a dear friend and partner, and to give back by hosting a Memorial Golf Outing benefitting the 1in9 Foundation. Smith, Debnam, Narron, Drake, Saintsing &#38; Myers, LLP, proudly hosted the Cynthia V. McAlister Memorial Golf Outing with 18 teams made up of friends and clients of the Firm. “We are truly blessed to be able to raise money for a local organization, that supports women fighting cancer~while spending a day on the golf course with friends and clients,” said Jerry Myers, Managing Partner. The Golf Outing honors Cynthia McAlister, or Cynty, a dear partner who was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2004. She battled cancer for almost two years before she passed away in May of 2006. Cynty was a Family Law Attorney with the Firm. She was known as a kind-hearted, sincere person loved by both her colleagues and clients. When she passed away, the Firm decided to host the outing in her honor to raise money for the charity. This is the second year that Smith Debnam, LLP has chosen 1in9 as a beneficiary of the Memorial Golf Outing, which has raised over $13,000 in the past two years. “1in9 is grateful to Smith Debnam for their continued support of our organization. They have been a tremendous advocate not only for this Foundation, but for women battling breast cancer in North Carolina,” said Stephanie Beguelin, Founder. “We could not continue our mission of helping without strong Community Champions like Smith Debnam.” Smith Debnam is a midsize North and South Carolina law firm with its main office in Raleigh, NC.
