    End of August Update

    Everything had been going along well, no real news to mention, until Wednesday when Dal received a call from his Oncologist.

    Coming to terms with a cancer diagnosis

However you are feeling, you're not alone. There's others talking about how they they are coping here on the Community so stay and read this blog to hopefully draw some comfort from these shared experiences. 

    Do you find yourself mourning...
