For those that are not friends with me on Facebook, this was part of my reason for coming back. In January, I was diagnosed with a rare type of skin cancer called Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans (DFSP). They removed the tumor itself in January and I just had a surgery a week and a half ago that extracts healthy cells to determine if all of the cancer was caught and removed.
When I say this cancer is rare, I mean RARE. We are talking like 0.8 to 4.5 people per million people are diagnosed with this cancer per, so roughly 1000 to 5000 people. This cancer starts in the second layer of the skin, the dermis, and it shows as a raised mass under the skin. They found my tumor in my abdominal skin and fat. It is classified as a non-melanoma skin cancer.
Thankfully, this cancer is slow growing and not aggressive. The survival rate is 99% after treatment and the prognosis is excellent. Still, just hearing the word cancer can send you into a tailspin and I definitely needed an escape. Hence, my clumsy return to Tumblr.
July is observed as sarcoma awareness month. It is a very rare kind of cancer and makes up approximately 1% of adult cancer diagnoses. It is more commonly observed in children.

I met Sarah Fisher on Saturday night at the Irish premiere of ‘Kiss and Cry’ (which is a beautifully heartwarming film) and it was the most amazing experience I’ve ever had!! She was unbelievably lovely and made so much time to talk to everyone and even sat down with me and my mum at the end of the evening because I’d travelled over seven hours to see her 💕💖
Sarcoma is a rare form of cancer but is deadly. It is a type of cancer that forms in the body's connective tissues, including fat, blood vessels, nerves, etc.

Found out that on the 15th of this month, at only 7 years old, PaisLeigh passed away. She wasn’t a close relative but she was considered family to me even though I didn’t know her well. More like family by marriage, but everything I heard about her was always that she was such a happy and positive girl considering dealing with sarcoma. So many people loved her and she will definitely be missed. ❤️💛😞
If you didn’t already know about this, I’m sorry to shock you and I’m sorry if we are friends and I haven’t gotten around to telling you. I’ve been in a state of complete shock and ‘fight-or-flight’ for the last two weeks. But basically, as the title suggests, I have cancer. And no, you aren’t confusing me with my Dad because he has it, too. This blog post will clear up most of your questions, I…
We all crave personalized experiences. Until recent times, getting or buying a customized item wasn’t that easy. Conversely, modern technology has made it easier to customize things. Nowadays, any object can be easily personalized based on the user’s requirements. Here is a list of popular custom yellow accessories for sarcoma awareness.
Yellow Awareness Ribbon Lapel Pins
A lapel pin is a small pin worn on the lapel of jackets, but nowadays people also tend to wear it on their caps, hats, t-shirts and even bandanas. These pins can be ornamental or can symbolize the wearer's affiliation with an association or cause. Some varieties include pin-on-pin, dangler pin, bobble pin, flocking pin, lenticular pin, LED pin, slider pin and spinner pin.
The backside of this item has the same importance as the front side, not merely because it grips the pin in place, but also because it makes it more unusual. Some wonderful styles of attachment pieces are the butterfly clutches sometimes called “military clutches”, jewelry clutches, jewelry clasps, magnetic clasps, and more.
Silicone Awareness Bracelets in Yellow
Bracelets or silicone wristbands are an abundant, low cost marketing element often used for fundraising, causes, events, and charitable activities. They may vary from beaded to silicone. The main drawback of beaded bracelets is that they are not the best every day wear, while silicone wristbands, as the name implies, are made of 100% silicone and are latex and lead free. Because of their durability they just can’t be more perfect for every day wear. Varied message styles of bracelets include debossed, ink filled debossed, embossed, color filled emboss, screen printed and dual layer. Also they can be small, medium, large and extra-large.
Lovely Yellow Awareness Ribbon Bears
Plush bears are so adorable and endearing and are guaranteed to make everyone fall in love with them. And you can design them yourself bears, making them wear a t-shirt with a yellow ribbon. Giving away these amazing dressed yellow awareness ribbon bears works for fundraisers, walks/runs, awareness events, parties or conventions. They're also great gifts for the special disease fighters and supporters in your life.
Here are some other customizable accessories that can be used to show your support in a unique way by making them yellow:
