Hi David;

I'm pretty new too, and at first I was overwhelmed at the response from this forum's members. They really helped me feel comfortable about having the disease (if that makes any sense whatsoever...) and sharing my situation with others. Before long, I felt I had become part of a substantial force that had harnessed the collective mental energy of thousands of cancer survivors who were focused on a common objective.

After reading many posts and replying to a few, I realized how therapeutic sharing information and trying to help others could truly be.

So even when you are looking for help, you are, in turn, helping someone else. A form of perpetual motion.....?

Welcome, and best of luck with your treatment !
