In 2005, 7 women met and became friends in a chemo room in Pinellas County, Florida. Though they came from different backgrounds and states and had different types of cancer, their experience with the disease created a bond that remains unbroken.
As time went on, some successfully finished treatment and some continued on in the fight. The group decided to meet regularly as no one wanted to see these friendships end.
Over the years, we have gained many new members to our *not so exclusive* club. Our group has also come to include several caregivers who were on the front lines fighting along side beloved friends.
We discovered we were learning from each other about various experiences as we progressed through the treatment and healing process.
These things included dealing with the side effects of chemo and how to combat them and tricks to make the whole process easier. Most importantly.we learned to share our feelings and emotions that accompany it.
We want to extend this wonderful network of friendship and support to the rest of Pinellas County and thus, The Sisterhood of the Sunshine Survivors Foundation was born.
No one will deny that getting a cancer diagnosis is one of the scariest, life changing events a person can experience. It is our intention to help others learn that there can still be much joy and laughter and that no one is alone in this fight. Welcome to the club you never wanted to join. We want to help. We hope that you will join us for fun and fellowship.
As our motto says, Cancer is not for Chickens and together we are strong!
