Cancer and Careers & Lindi Skin Help Women Share Their Stories

NEW YORK, July 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Sharing a story of survival can be a cathartic act of affirmation. Reading that same story can provide comfort and the invaluable first-hand experiences of someone who has "been there." For women with cancer, shared stories can be life lines.

Cancer and Careers (CAC) is an organization that focuses on women, cancer, and the world of work by providing practical career advice and helping companies learn what to do when an employee is diagnosed. They've joined forces with Lindi Skin, a line of products developed to help women cope with the side effects of undergoing cancer treatment and related disorders, to encourage women to get their words out.

Through CAC's online Collective Diary, snapshots of the living and working with cancer experience are captured in posts from women at all phases of their treatment and recovery. The result is a patchwork quilt of personal experiences and wisdom -- an invaluable resource to anyone touched by cancer.

To commemorate CAC's and Lindi Skin's partnership, the first 50 women who provide entries on the Collective Diary will receive Lindi Skin's Fighting Back Pack, a collection of skincare products formulated for people undergoing chemotherapy and radiation treatment. This offering includes travel sizes of the most popular Lindi Skin products: Body Lotion, Body Wash, Eye Hydrator, Face Serum, Face Tint, and Lip Balm.
