Wanted to share a short but moving video that Children's Miracle Network put together with our help to thank their donors and ask people to support my wife in a local contest. 

My wife was diagnosed w/ node positive TN and completed dd AC/T (had our daughter after round 3 of AC) plus Xeloda/Navelbine and Zometa.  She is near her two year anniversary and our daughter is well too.  Also, if you would like to support her, a local Mom Magazine has a contest for her to win a makeover/cover story.  She could use some support from her TN sisters - the link is also below (please share the link with others if you would like).  Thank you for your support!!

Link to vote for Linda (by Apr 22) for a makeover:

Thank you!  Rob

Update Apr 20: Only 2 more days thank you for all the support, keep voting and share with others as it is very close!  Here are the current standings (Linda Blair):

    You have a beautiful family, your wife is incredible and baby Ava is adorable. It only took a moment to register and I voted for Linda, the video made me cry. It was just incredible, sometimes people can't see past their own heartache and how life is so unfair for them. It's bad enough to hear "You have breast cancer" but to go through all that treatment and give birth while in chemo! 

    Your beautiful wife has been through so much (so have you) I hope people keep this thread alive and vote, it only takes a minute sisters. The video made me cry, just an incredible woman!!! LET'S VOTE LADIES FOR A FELLOW SISTER!!!  Vote for Linda Blair and Baby Ava! :)

    I haven't watched the video, YET, but I will! This hits very close to home for me, because although I was not diagnosed while I was pregnant, I should have been - as the lump was there and very prominant. Instead I was diagnosed 3 months after the birth of my first daughter. Love to your wife - God sent her an angel to help her through all of this... at least that is how I felt (and still feel) about my daughter. I am also triple negative, so again, very close to home. I am going to watch the video and vote now!

    Just watched (cried) and voted ... and checked standings - Linda is 11 votes up right now!!!  I'm posting on my FB page too, and I never, ever do that.  Rob, you are what every woman dreams of in the way of a supportive husband.  Mine is wonderful also, but I don't think he would have done that.  I was sooo moved.  Glad I took a moment to check the "Active Topics" section of the boards, I often don't.  Good luck :)
