Questions on Your Cancer Diagnosis?

Do you have a quick question on how to deal with some part of your cancer diagnosis? Post your questions here in the community and someone has probably gone through it already and is happy to help. There are so many kind people who want to make it easier for the next cancer warrior going through this tough time.

Why Share Your Story?

Journaling about your battle with cancer is a great way to relieve stress. We can let go of some things after writing them down. Also, I found it helpful to keep track of what treatments and doctors I saw and on what dates.

As a bonus, it helps someone else to read what you are going through. And it feels good to help people.

What is Your Cancer Story?

Everyones path is a little bit different but by sharing your story someone else may benefit from knowing they are not alone in this path.

imageDale - 10 Years Ago Today  It was 10 years ago on this exact day that I was introduced to the most wretched, horrid thing on this planet, Cancer. It started as a small dull ache in my gut. Unfortunately for me, it happened just after the Canadian Thanksgiving. I went to see the doctor, and statistically, it made sense that it should have been from all the excessive eating and drinking from the weekend (bacteria or what-not from the turkey). I gave it a couple … more…

imageMary - Five year anniversary - tick  Hi all,  I'm pleased to be able to share with you that I have now been signed off. I am no longer being followed up by my Oncologist as I have been monitored and assessed over 60 months post-treatment and my (stage 1) cancer has gone.  I hope this will give others hope and help you to get through treatment. The five and a half weeks of chemo-radiation treatment is similar, I believe, whether the cancer is advanced or mercifully not advanced.  … more…

imageLarissa - Sweet 16.....journal 9/28/2020  Sweet 16...journal September 28, 2020     Sweet sixteen is a term used to refer to a child maturing into a young adult. A party is often thrown to celebrate all of their past accomplishments and give them warm wishes as they turn the page to a new chapter of their life.   Today, I celebrate 16 years of survival.  I don’t need a party or celebration to mark the gift that today is.  I have been given 5843.87519 days to unwrap and celebrate since … more…
