Hello and happy Easter!

I just received an e-mail from CSN admins that it will be discountinued as of 26MAY2026.

Well… I am not here as much as before, and it is the same for many survivors and caregivers. I guess it is a good sign - we all move on and cancer is not on our minds 24/7. And, hopefully, newly diagnosed ones get all the info and support they need from their medical teams.

At the same time this discussion board was the one to keep my sanity when my husband got diagnosed in 2014. People here were the first ones to support, advise, calm me down. I will never forget that and I am eternally gratefull.

This board is part of my life now, where I managed to meet friends who would help and understand.

So I’ll use the opportunity to say

  • to newly diagnosed ones - do not despair. My husband was diagnosed 11,5 years ago, now NED.
  • to all I’ve met here- THANK YOU!!!! You were my lifeline, and I wish you NED or stability for many years. Some fighters have died, but we all remeber them

thank you, CSN, old friend…
