We received a note from Bill, the son of Joyce who started the Chemo Cap Project and to whom we continue the project in her memory.
Just got off the phone with Vivian about a note she just received from the husband who's wife wears a Joyce's Chemo Cap, brought tears to my eyes. I just wanted to let you know again how much I appreciate how hard you, Vivian and all of the knitters do for this project.
Thank You, Thank You!
Bill

We Need a Name for Our Knitters and Crocheters
Do you have a suggestion for what we can call the knitters and crocheters who do their loving work for the Joyce's Chemo Cap Project? We don't like to always refer to them as 'knitters and crocheters'. If you have a suggestion, please let us know in the comment section. Just click on the comment at the bottom of the post. You can leave your name or check anonymous. Thanks everyone who reads our blog and contributes to our project.

Joyce's Son Comments On the Cap's
Joyce's Chemo Cap Project
Letter sent to the Mayor of Allen, Texas
With all of the people you meet everyday you may or not remember me as a volunteer the past two years on the advisory board with Allen Animal Control, which by the way is a pleasure to do.
I wanted to let you know about a project that a group of Allen Senior Citizen members have been doing over the past six months, started because of my mother Joyce Schmitt. My mother who has gone to the center since it's opening was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer and stage 3 lung cancer in April 2006. After spending several months searching for the right oncologists, getting second and third opinions, she started chemo this fall.
As I'm sure you are aware most Chemo patients loose their hair and because of additional treatments and a second round of chemo that she just completed Mom has not had hair for sometime.
The project I am speaking about of is called "Joyce's Chemo Cap's". a group of Mom's friend's at the center heard her complain about the caps bothering her at night when she slept and her head would get cold.. Out of that comment while having coffee at the center six months ago began a group of members that crochet or knit and have given away more than 1,500 caps to cancer patients, They have helped start groups in six other states. These caps which are by the way beautiful, are donated to hospitals and cancer centers in Collin County.
