I'm have been the main caregiver for both my parents
I'm have been the main caregiver for both my parents. I took care of my mother years ago until 8yrs ago when she had died. The first year my mother was in the hospital for most of it. I went to school, found a full time job (that I loved very much) which I held for 13yrs until the company closed in 2008. Within that time I…

I have a son who is 23 years old and graduated from U of o yesterday. I am so angry my husband is not here to support my son and to show how proud he would be of his oldest son.

Tsunami- daughter found :-)
hello! I want to thank those in the know that prayers have been answered about my only child-who is not in the UK but on a remote island in Micronesia. She was on a diving trip and evacuated to a place of safety having just flown out there a few hours before the earthquake via Tokyo and Guam. What with everything else- its…

How do YOU get through the overwhelming times in the cancer journey?
Having one of those overwhelming times myself right now, they come and go with life's challenges as they arise - for me it has been up and down for 23 years since diagnosis with ongoing side effects of treatments and well, just life. I was wondering if everyone could benefit from input on this subject as to how others cope…
Spot to vent about - insensitive people
I have had it with insensitive people. Bad enough people are living with disablilities and there are always businesses who show no compassion whatsoever and make it even harder for us than what we are faced with daily. This issue was raised for me today when my landlady decided, seemingly out of the blue, that they were…
Anxiety
What do most people take for anxiety when they've been diagnosed with cancer? I can't seem to shut off my brain and my thoughts. I don't know if this is normal but it's the most bothersome of all my symptoms and I want to know what others do to manage it. Thank you
