Meet Lola... well her name really isn't Lola, it's Dolores, but I have permission to call her Lola.
Lola is a dear friend of mine - we worked together in television.
In 2004, Lola was diagnosed with breast cancer.
With her son and husband to care for she wasn't quite sure how she was going to manage. Friends and family were eager to help with meals, car-pooling and housekeeping.
Keep everything straight on who was coming when and to do what was taxing - this normally vivacious, beautiful, spunky gal didn't need one more thing to keep track of while trying to concentrate on healing.
Being Lola...she created an online schedule system where friends and family could log in and sign up for whatever duties on whatever date and time was available.
It worked beautifully and everything got accomplished when it was suppose to.
Now 3 years later Lola has won her battle with cancer and just today launched her own dot.com.
MyPinkPlanner.comis a free on-line service offered to breast cancer survivors to give them an extra edge on organization while undergoing chemo or radiation.
I'm proud of Lola - she's helping make lemonade out of lemons for breast cancer patients.
In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month please consider sharing this website with someone you know whose life has changed by breast cancer or put a link in your blog to help spread the word about this useful free service.
Good going Lola!

Always makes my day seem less worried when I read a post like this, and with the birth of my twin daughters, a wife and having a mom, too, breast cancer is something I may have to deal with in my family circle.
Thanks for the inspiring post!

Great way to deal positivity with a non-positive event. My mother is going on 25+ years as a breast cancer survivor.

FRAN: Thank you for sharing this site with all of us. As you may know, Karen George (a well-respected Rainer) is going through this right now. In the midst of her battle with Cancer, she still finds time to come on to AR and offer advice to help us all. She has a separate blog for Breast Cancer. You may want to contact her with this information so that she could include it on her personal blog.
