i had been searching in vain for an online support community like what my mom had when she had cancer. she was in forums then with other cancer patients, and several of the women were planning to have a gathering in michigan or someplace. my mom was planning to go but got too sick, so guess what? they all came here instead! we all had the best time. they made t-shirts with CSG on them (Cancer Support Group) and we all wore them to dinner and took pictures. Anyway, I was looking for a group like that. I made a post about my problems but didn't get any replies so I started replying to posts and going to chat and the rest is history! i found a group like what she had!! yay!
