I came across this blog and they make some amazing observations on cancer and life. It is well written and worth reading.
If it takes a village to raise a child, you might say it also takes one to care for the sick. Cancer is at once personal and communal. Disease lives in the sufferer’s body but the experience of illness is shared, often intimately, by our loved ones. And yet, caring for the sick can feel like writing a travelogue about a country you’ve never visited. You can’t know where you haven’t been.

My journey: Living with and overcoming Synovial Sarcoma. A rare and nasty Cancer. Not a how-to guide but ideas and observations during my experience so far. There are only a few SS survivors publishing and I've found their information helpful and reassuring. The site is also to update my wonderful supporters on my progress. Image above was pre-diagnosis by my daughter of the 'Alien Baby'. This tumour has been removed but the battle to eradicate the disease continues.
The list is so helpful. Today I met up with a professional acquaintance who had cancer a few years back and because of that list I just said to him - you know when you had cancer I didn't know what to say. It had been on my mind all that time that I had not gone and done something/said anything - and by just acknowledging that the rest comes more easily.
