Greetings!
 The month of May was a crazy time for me because of my daughter's college graduation. It was a wonderful time filled with family and celebration. This month is my son's high school graduation, again filled with family and celebration! But these are the times I live for, the celebration, the fun and the great memories. I hope this summer will be filled with lots of memories and experiences that fill you with joy and love! If you're in the Los Angeles area on September 30th, please consider joining us at Raleigh Studios for our 2nd Sunday Tea Party. We'll be watching a performance of "Jonna's Body Please Hold", a 1-woman show about how our body reacts to cancer. It's a wonderful show, very poignant, filled with laughter and sadness at the same time! The official registration form will be on our website this summer. To connect with other survivors using our searchable database, please visit the Pink-Link website. I hope you're feeling well and empowered! Have a wonderful month! Sincerely, Victoria Tashman Pink-Link 310-995-5204

 A vaccine that targets cancer cells in combination with the drug letrozole, a standard hormonal therapy against breast cancer, significantly increased survival when tested in mice, a team of University of California-Davis investigators has found.
