If you don't subscribe to "Cure" magazine, now is the time to do it. It's free to caregivers and patients. There are 2 articles that are must reads. The first one is "Crossing the Line", in the "Readers Forum" by 17 year old Susan Neesim Keeney. If you want to know the inner workings going on in a patients mind this is the best article I have ever read that graphically describes how I felt and reacted. Incredibly well written - what a great storyteller. I think that she has even more potential than Lance Armstrong (in the book department anyway).

The second article is for caregivers, in "Caregivers Corner" called "After Caregiving". You'll just have to read it.

The Fall issue will focus on head & neck cancer. They actually mentioned OCF as a resource for the first time.

Many of the articles in Cure are also on line. See: http://www.curetoday.com/currentissue/index.html

Thanks for that link, Gary. The article by Susan Neesim Keeney was indeed very well-written and manages to pack quite a buit in about the emotional reactions she had in a very short essay. I haven't had a chance (don't have time) tp read the other yet.
