About Being a Survivor

I was moved by this story of a much younger person dealing with Non-Hodgkin's. (http://www.redbookmag.com/health-wellness/advice/surviving-lymphoma)

I wondered, as I read, how tough life would be if I'd gone through chemo as such a young age. My neighbour survived the disease in the 1970s, after dealing with it in her early thirties. Ethan Zohn , winner of Survivor Africa a few years back, has had to go beyond chemo to stem cell transplantation. His life will be forever changed as will mine. How many more cases will I hear about before I die?

Hello Dave!

I wanted to let you know about an interesting cancer blog a group of cancer patients have been working on.

A fellow tongue cancer patient was sent home to die. There was nothing more that can be done. Cancer survivors ask him life altering questions.
