These women are warriors.
They might look like your neighbor, your child’s teacher, your pew companion when you worship.
That’s because they are.
They might seem just like you, your sisters and your mother — chasing grandchildren, planning vacations, picking up groceries.

These women also have — and are — waging a war on a disease that has crept into their bodies, disrupted their lives, altered their family.
They are cancer survivors.

When Barbara Titanish’s best friend, Jeanette Cartwright of Stewartstown, was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, Titanish became her advocate, helping her through two years of treatment.
In 1994, Titanish and Cartwright created H.O.P.E., a cancer patient support group based in New Freedom.
Cartwright passed away six months after the group was founded. The group now has about 40 volunteers who help more than 400 families.

Another week, another ear infection.
This seems to be the pattern with my son, Ben, 15 months old.
He's fine for a few days, and then, Wham! Another sleepless night, high fever, miserable morning and scratched-up ear.
