lost partner from lung cancer in Feb
Posting this message is first for me. My partner died in February 08. The cancer was already Stage 4 when she was diagnosed in Jan 07. I am wondering if there is anyone who has walked through something similar with their partner and has any wise words on living with the grief.

10 years out
I have plenty to be grateful for after these last 10 years of survival. I did manage to turn the clock on all the pain and side effects from all the treatments and become more than doctors had ever hoped. They had left me to a puddle of pain and fatigue thinking that my diseases would now keep me from returning to the…

It takes TIME

Yes, we are here.
Hi Guys, Just was looking through the sites and what? To my surprise I have followed and probably talked to both of you on each network. I don't know why I haven't checked it out before, but you're right about being a little uneasy about " Being Out". Me: Breast Cancer survivor 1 year and 4 months. Still getting over the…

It is my hope that others will find suport that they need, if one actually needs it.

Just found this
I have been apart of this site for over 6 years yet didn't know that this existed. I too am glad to find a place to talk with others who are like me.

Survivor Guilt

HELP.. normal just doesn't feel normal anymore
