Blogging can be a great way to journal your experiences and share with others. Why not create your own cancer journey blog, or have a read of other blogs created by our members?
Unsure how to get started? Take a look at our help pages on blogs.
i was diagnosed on nov. 20 2009 i am almost done with 4th round of chemo. next is surgery . small cell is so rare i would really like to hear from a survivor of multiple years. any and all comments are welcome. there is not alot of info out there. i truly mean this when i say we can not change the cards delt to us. but to me knowledge is strength.and strenth is really nice to have when we need to fight for life. thanks so much god bless.
It's been a while since I last blogged. I never really got used to the new site once it merged. It was just too big and stressed out for me to cope with. But I thought I should tell you all that Ian died yesterday very peacefully in the hospice. It was so difficult for him towards the end. I was so glad he made it to the hospice because it gave me the chance to spend the last night with him in peace and quiet and with somebody else taking responsibility. I value that opportunity.
Very difficult to update a blog when they charge 30p a minute on the cruise!! The cruise was a great success, despite feeling pains towards the end. I did contact my cancer nurse and ask her to arrange my appointments for when I got home, telling her I thought I would be early. I am afraid to say that I was right, and after we finished the cruise we cut short the journey down the coast to LA from San Franscico and then cut a few days off from the time with family, so our holiday short by a week in...
Had my right breast removed and reconstruction done, and results back, no chemo needed and no further signs of cancer. So very lucky as it was caught in time before my two tumours could join up into one. But have not felt like juming up and down for joy. After all the rush from wtart to finish it has left a very strange feeling. I guess that is the norm.

Hi everyone,
Thanks for your kind replies to my 1st blog, I feel quite rude that I didn't reply to them, didn't understand how these things work and didn't look at my blog lol haha.
Well what a roller coaster this experience is (I mean the cancer not the bloging lol!) I'm looking for advice from anyone out there who has had an APR or an LAR for rectal cancer. I have a tumour 5cm from the anal verge. I've had chemoradiotherapy and am booked in for surgery on 26 March 2010.

I have posted a reply from Cancer Research UK on the the thread Parent's of Children with Brain Tumours in relation to how money is spent and what research they are doing as an organisation. They have included many links that some people may find of use.
