The fabulous people at Pitt Memorial Hospital’s Family Medicine Residency Program are selling wristbands (with “Always Believe” and “Never Back Down” written on either side) in effort to support their fellow comrade in arms during medical treatment. Each wristband is $5 and all proceeds go to aforementioned good cause. “We are thankful to any and all who buy these wristbands and wear them in support.” All interested individuals should contact Dr. Daniel Becerra (family medicine intern) at becerrag@ecu.edu.
This is not a request and no one need feel obligated to do anything. Support is given in many different heartfelt ways and is received, loved, and appreciated all the same.
Cheers to the family medicine program for their efforts in support of the cause.
Mookie told us about Katie. Our prayers are with you during this time .
ReplyDeleteI am a reader of Mookie's comic, and he mentioned you. You truely are strong and you have my sympathy. Get better, best wishes.
ReplyDeleteC'mon! :D You can do it! ^,^ Get well soon, alright? :D Just a little more ways to go and you'll be better. :) You've got our support all the way through your tough battle. :D Don't lose now. ^,^
ReplyDeleteHello!
ReplyDeleteI won't pretend that I know you but I really hope you get better and beat that sickness of yours. If what Mookie wrote is any indication of you as a person, Im sure that you can do it.
Good Luck or as we would say here in the north, Lycka Till!
Stay positive, and do not deny help from any source, whether religious, biochemical, or personal.
ReplyDeleteKati my prayers are with you. I met you at ECU´s Dental Clinic with Dr. Paredes. We were just recently relocated from LSU due to Katrina and had the opportunity to meet you during the initial diagnosis. My best wishes!
ReplyDeleteFight on!
ReplyDeleteI heard about you from mookie. All I can say is that your strength is an example for others to follow. Also know that we probably will never meet or interact in any meaningful way beyond this message I still respect and care for you.
ReplyDeleteShe is able who think she is able.
As a fellow med student, I cannot help but be amazed at how much effort you must put into each day to navigate medical school on top of all of the treatments. Cancer is pretty prevalent in my family, and all of the suvivors have stated that their unwillingness to give in is what brought them to where they are now. We all hope that your unwavering fight grants you the same.
ReplyDeleteI wish you the best of luck and all energy needed to overcome this illness.
ReplyDeleteYeah, you're incredibly blessed to have someone like Mookie as a friend. There's not much I can do from here but wish you luck, although I'd be glad to give a little something if snail-mail-for-wristbands wasn't the only avenue available. I'd recommend Randy Pausch's 'Last Lecture,' but it sounds like you have the motivation thing under control already :)
ReplyDeleteI wish you well.
ReplyDeleteThe strength to go throught med school while recieving cancer treatment is incredible. You're truely an inspiration; don't give up!!
ReplyDeleteI'M ON TEAM KATI

ReplyDeleteRock on! You can do it!
ReplyDeleteMookie pointed me this way, and I do hope you get well soon! You're very strong, having dealt with this three times now! Good luck and best wishes!
ReplyDeleteKati, I know your parents from their "Community" years in Chicago. I see that they have raised you to be a beautifully courageous, strong, positive young woman. My thoughts and prayers are with you as you fight this disease and live your life to the fullest. Blessings to you!
ReplyDeleteHi Kati,
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking about you but lost your email address somewhere in the last two years.
Mine is EmmaBPutnam@gmail.com -- See you at Thanksgiving if not before. When you're up to it I'd love to go see an ART show with you :)
love,
Emma (josie's husband's brother's girlfiend :-P)
