Welcome

Yes, this is a wicked beast of a cancer we battle - but battles are being won everyday by Stage 0s to Stage 4s. The various stages of processing this diagnosis by the survivor and their spouse, children, parents, and all of their loved ones is pretty much as you have described.

Someone said it is the rollercoaster ride from hell. They are right. We are in this together on this site - we laugh, cry, share victories, curse the undesirable reports and celebrate NEDs all together here as though we were all one big family - we welcome you to join us.

The pioneers here are the most awesome people you will ever 'meet' and read every post if you can - you just never know what kind of information you never knew you needed will be shared.

Please let us know if you have any questions, or come back and just vent whenever you want. We'll be right here for you.

Hugs from Michigan,
Judy & Don
