Here's to blogging
Last week I met Hannah, who had come across this blog, and as someone also diagnosed with HCC has hopefully found it useful.
Here's to blogging!
Hope your check-up goes well Hannah. Meet up again whenever you want!
Fiona, Amen, to blogging. You, Carole, and Ang were especially helpful for Steve while he was doing chemo and actively fighting cancer. It was the kind of support Steve needed from caring people who understood everything he was going through because they had been there themselves. The awesome thing about blogging is that it allows you to reach out on your own terms and timeline and yet still feel connected to a support group. Thanks to all the friendships and angels we meet over the internet ... and throughout the world! Carla
