Welcome to the site. Buckle Up. You have just started your fight and you will need the support of your loved ones and those here to see you through this turbulent ride. We've all been there - we've heard the word "cancer" attached to YOUR name. Such a frightening word but as you will see from this site there are many many of us who are living with the disease - continuing our treatments, and yes, enjoying life while we do so. Here there is Hope.

Keep posting about what you want to know about - even if you think you "should" know the answer. There is such a wide variety of experiences here that I know you will benefit from the group's sage advice.

In the meantime, one day at a time, one step at a time. Buckle Up!!
