What is this site for...........?

1 minute read time.

Im sorry that i feel, the need to post this blog, to me  this site has been fantastic and has helped me so much with the daily living and coping with the issue of having a loved one with cancer.

I could not have got through the passed few very difficullt months with out the support of all the lovely people i have met here!. The one thing that stands out the most is how nice people are even though they may be going through there own struggles.

The thing that has saddened me is to see people posting negative bloggs regarding support ,friends or chat some people  have even  been rude and in some cases down right abusive on chat. it would be nice to see a little more positiveness. Maybe reading some other blogs will give people an idea of how in need of support some people actually do need.

Having said that there are so many lovely, supportive, genuine, caring the list goes on..... people here and as i have said before i could not have been without it. I do hope that no one takes offence by this as it has never been my intention.

To be honest  over the past week i have seen a lot and the thing that topped it off was when two lovely people who had both lost people very dear to them, were giving abuse form a member on chat, as there loved ones had not even been laid to rest.  I do  think it is important not to judge others  but to see this happened was very hard to comprehend. Well on a positive i enjoy talking to so many lovely people on both blogs and chat and will do for a long while to come. take care lisa

    I too have found this site to be my saviour as I really think without over the last few weeks,I would of fallen apart. you and my new mac friends have understood my pain,cyber hugged me and kept me going.

    There is so much bickering and fighting in this world,lets please do not do it on here where we need to support and be strong for each other.

    Such a shame that there has been bad incidents in chat and unfortunate blogs.

    We are grown ups and dont need to rise to the bait or jump into someone elses disagreements.

    love n peace

    This site needs to be here and remain supportive to one and all - i have needed the support as much, if not more, in the last 3 months - than in the first 5 months when mum was dealing with this awful disease

    HUGS to everyone and THANKS

    I have found this site & it's members such a support since I was diagnosed with melanoma in the summer. I don't work anymore (retired at 52), can't carry on my University course for the moment  & only have my working hubby at home so, other than bothering family & close friends, I find this support network invaluable in getting me through the day.

    I don't use the chat facility cos I know I would never be off the computer if I did, but I do enjoy reading & replying to other's blogs and making friends, particularly with those who are suffering with melanoma. The support they give me, and that I hope I can give in return, is what this site is all about & it is so sad to see people take advantage of it & it's members. The 'ladies' who target male members, the 'frauds' who are looking for attention and those who abuse others on chat are just symptomatic of some of life's sad individuals and it is hurtful that they use this site for their own ends without considering that we are all going through a vulnerable time in our lives & could be considered as easy targets.

    I hope that the genuine members amongst us keep giving their love & support and receiving it in return.

    Strength in numbers, my love to you all,
