NLMSF: Thank you so much for your kind words and your recommendations regarding speakers and your great passion and commitment got us to the finish line in pulling this Rare Cancer / Sarcoma Webinar program together.

All is possible with our team work. I am so thrilled to finally after all this time collaborate on a webinar program together. I know that we will both work hard to create more opportunities to offer programs on LMS.

“In 2012, I was diagnosed with leiomyosarcoma, but had never heard of it. God allowed me to be part of something that changed how I wanted to fight this. I learned that I must fight and teach as many people as I can that are fighting cancer. You’re not alone. Annie Achee has been my life coach through this. If I’m concerned about any treatment, I can call her for guidance. Thank you for your love and support.”

"Annie and the NLMSF work tirelessly on behalf of patients with LMS, seeking ways to support needed research, offering free patient programs throughout the US, and providing support for caregivers. The website has tons of great information for those with this diagnosis, and the weekly newsletter includes lots of links to other valuable information. NLMSF has its own active Facebook group where patients can pose questions and gain support. Highly recommended!"
