Non-small cell cancer
I just learned in the recent few months that my grandfather is dying of non-small cell cancer in his lungs. It has spread to the lymph nodes, and the doctor is giving him no more than 5 months to live from this date. I would like to listen to Christians who have experienced something like this with someone that they love…
Deep Thoughts
I just read a little poem by Dhany. I was wondering if anybody else has written poetry to express their feelings, or has a favorite Bible passage that keeps them going, or lyrics, etc. I thought maybe this was a good place to share these things. I wrote this one about the time of my last chemo treatment: Remnants of an Old…

If you could design the perfect outdoor space for a cancer center what would you include?
As well as being a family member of someone with cancer, I'm a graduate student studying the design of outdoor landscapes/gardens at cancer centers. I wanted to ask others, if you had the ability to create an outdoor space at your treatment center where you might rest, recover, or just escape, what would you want that…
too long
I have been doing this now for 6 years and I am running out of steam. Am very tired of fighting and my family doesn't understand this at all. I am suppose to keep going and doing it all. I don't think I can much longer. Thanks Judy
emotional roller-coaster
I've really been struggling lately! Right now, I'm in the middle of radiation treatments for non-Hodgkins lymphoma (I've had 9 of 15). That part is going well - my tumor is shrinking nicely, and I've had very few side effects. However, my emotions are all hay-wire!!! Having cancer has caused me to dredge up feelings about…
