Waiting for Wings ~ Another Miracle

It always amazes me how “God Works in Mysterious Ways”. I was searching the internet this week for any new information about Inflammatory Breast Cancer as our goal is to keep our readers informed of this devastating disease and any new medical breakthroughs or miracles that may have happened.

In my search I found another survivor – and she only lives a few miles down the highway from me. Her name is Heidi Marble and she has written a wonderful book about her personal battle with IBC. In addition to the book, she has started a unique form of art: taking jewelry donated by cancer patients and their families and putting them on mannequins. The display and sale of this art has helped bring attention to our cause and helped fund a lot of patients' basic needs. The artwork is also available for purchase or rent as a motivation for people to donate to the fight against breast cancer.

The title of her book is Waiting for Wings and you can purchase this book or view her artwork by clicking on the title of this blog or on the title of the book. You can also see sample pages of the book by clicking on this link. Her website is http://www.waitingforwings.com/

Below are some reviews of her book and if you or a friend has Inflammatory Breast Cancer, this book is an inspiring story of survival and I encourage you to purchase copies for yourself and to give as gifts.

“Unlike other books, “Waiting for Wings” is a blend of photographs, narrative and poetry. The book is an aching account of a mother’s determination to survive not only for her son, but her husband and ultimately herself. The story offers deep insight into the human potential that resides in each one of us.”

Waiting for Wings" is an extraordinary book about Heidi Marble’s journey through breast cancer. With words and pictures, she presents an unflinching honest portrait of her experience. There are no pink ribbons in this book; instead, there is beauty, truth and hope.”

Many blessings to all of you as we continue to find more miracles, Jan
