I'm still blogging because I'm still here! A blog is supposed to be a peersonal account of each one of us' journey along the cancer path. No two will be the same.
I've joined the group for those living with an incurable or terminal cancer diagnosis and my reading there makes me understand how lucky I am at this stage of the journey.
