I am the cancer patient and I was my own caregiver (long story). I didn't find the forum until the last 2 weeks of my treatment, which is probably a good thing as the information would have scared me to death and who knows if I would have completed treatment. I told my boy friend and close friends about this forum and asked them if they wanted to read any of the information so that they would know what was happening to me and what I was going through. They all said no and asked me repeatedly not to read "all of this stuff". Thank God they were the ones in denial and not me!

I have spent many, many hours reading the forums here. I have laughed and cried. The knowledge I have gained here as been invaluable. It gave me information for questions to ask my doctors. Green fields, lilacs and God was one of the first forums I read. To me it was like a novel I couldn't put down. How I came to love those ladies! Glad to see that it has regained life!
