The genesis and inspiration for Lots To Live For! came after I watched both my mother and grandmother fight courageous battles against cancer while simultaneously trying to maintain a normal lifestyle. Lots To Live For, Inc. offers one stop shopping and solutions for cancer patients by selling products to alleviate, reduce and relieve unpleasant and uncomfortable side effects of chemotherapy and radiation. Our blog offers practical advice for cancer patients, caregivers and their circle of friends. I seek to empower you with tools, tips and information to help you become your own advocate throughout your journey. I strive to connect individuals who can help, educate, and inspire each other.
