My best girlfriend, Lisa, is having both of her breasts removed Jan. 7th. This is a preventative surgery, she has a very high chance of getting breast cancer and has chosen this option after much thought and discussion with her Dr.
I would like to have a “Pink Party” for her the beginning of December in honor of her choice. Would love some ideas from anyone on how to do this. Everything I have found is for people that already developed breast cancer. We want it to be an all girl’s night, no men, and we want it to be all night, but not at any of our houses. Maybe on the beach somewhere, we live in Jacksonville, FL

Thx Joyce

This website has made me laugh and cry with the stories and ideas from everyone. One of my girlfriends is celebrating her 3 year anniversary this weekend so I was looking for ideas to surprise and celebrate. I found so many here…thank you so much! My mom has MS so I spend half the year putting everything I can in to fundraising for her but I’ve been so inspired by my friend and her strength that I’ve started helping with this cause, as well. My prayers go out to all of the courageous women who manage to take what is being thrown at them and push through.

We are having a “Hooray for Boobies” party for my mom who is a five year survivor. All the ladies are wearing bras on the outside of their shirts, and I am looking for games. We have “boobie” cakes, too!

Dharma I love your ideas and the way you are thinking. I’m planning October Bunko for my girlfriends and as a cancer survivor I think that Halloween stuff is so overrated. So, we are having a pink theme. I love these ideas. Friends of survivors, you cannot do enough for your friends to support them through the process. Anything means so much. Treats to take to chemo, gas cards, hat parties, celebrating clear scans! Its all a reason to celebrate..heck getting up and putting make-up on during chemo is worth celebrating. I love this website. Thanks for encouraging us to do life together.

Janet-
I am going through treatment at the moment with my birthday coming up soon. I too have a quirky sense of humor. I always have a big “do”, but this year I will theme it around breast cancer. I have my last “Red Devil” chemo just before my birthday. In the few weeks before getting a mastectomy I am just beginning to plan perhaps a “Chemouflage Pajama Party” with girlfriends! I have thought of making a 2-breasted pinata, adorned with a lacy bra, filling it with travel tissues (breast) and milk duds, along with a single red chocolate heart, and I don’t know what else yet. We will smash that cancer right out of there! I also thought of getting one of those life-size photo cardboard cutouts of myself and putting two balloons at the breasts for a dart contest! Who knows what I’ll do when I’m all done with radiation and surgeries!! I love your ideas and the ones on the site. This is a really nice find!
Love, Light, and Peace to all,

I was diagnosed with DCIS about a month ago and will be having a mastectomy in 2 weeks. I am planning a “bye-bye booby” party to say goodbye to my right breast in a funny and creative way instead of just getting depressed about it. I also thought that this would give me a funny memory to carry with me as I recover from surgery. I have a quirky sense of humor so I’m thinking of games like “pin the nipple on the boob” etc. If anyone has any good ideas for funny stuff we could do at this party, I’d appreciate it. And for anyone who reads this post and has breast cancer, please be assured that I am not trying to invalidate or deny the seriousness of this disease – just trying to treat it with humor which is my best coping mechanism.
