I have also just recently joined and have found that having a forum to talk in has greatly helped already. I also found the after was much harder to deal with than the actual fact of being diagnosed, making choices about treatment and under going the actual treatments. I attempted to return to work 4 weeks after completing radiation, but did not last. I have been trying to locate an active group in my hometown but at this time there are no active groups. Was very hard to understand. So I started checking into the net groups. I have checked approximately 50 to 60 different sites to date and this is the best. Thanks.
