HELP and HOPE in a time of need. 'The Road Paved in Pink: A Practical and Personal Guide for Breast Cancer Patients and Their Loved Ones' is a booklet designed to educate and support the newly diagnosed breast cancer patient and her loved ones.

Lovey's nightmare has begun. She's been thrust into a terrifying and confusing journey, joining the nearly 250,000 women who will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year. If Lovey is fortunate, she has an excellent support team, also known as Angels 'The Road Paved in Pink: A Practical and Personal Guide for Breast Cancer Patients and Their Loved Ones' offers Lovey and her Angels the comprehensive guidance needed to withstand the challenges ahead. Readers will be empowered by the love and support of the many others who have already traveled the same bumpy road.

'The Road Paved in Pink' is Part 2 of Shirley Alarie’s Breast Cancer Series, serving to heighten awareness of breast cancer reconstruction options. 'Losing the Girls: My Journey Through Nipple-Sparing Mastectomy and Beyond' is her educational and inspirational memoir, written to entertain as well as spread awareness of nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM). Her website identifies some of the hospitals that perform this surgery.

'The Road Paved in Pink' resulted in the launch of Lovey's Angel, to honor the unsung heroes of breast cancer - the caregivers, supporters, and cheerleaders. Angel is the one who trudges along beside Lovey, steadies her when she stumbles, and picks her up when she falls. Angel can be Lovey's spouse, parent, child, sibling, or BFF. But Lovey's Angel extends far beyond breast cancer and into every debilitating disease, otherwise known as the "ribbon" diseases. Honor an Angel you know, connect with other Angels, or purchase Angel products via the website.
