Cancer and Journaling

tammie-parnell

I just wanted to share my blog address.  It's www.breastissue.blogspot.,com .  During my breast cancer in 2008 I began updating my closest friends and family at first to keep them up to date, but later as my own private therapy.  My emails grew by word of mouth to a large group of people that I dubbed "My People" and helped me navigate my mind through the ups and downs of cancer treatment and acceptance.  Writing to everyone created a support group of the people I saw everyday and allowed me to let them in on my struggle and relate to me. It also showed me how much you need your people during a trying time.  As I wrote I had many requests to do something with the emails and information I gained so I put together a blog and am slowly incorporating the emails onto it for others to enjoy and realize they are not alone in their emotions.  Check it out.  Thanks and keep people in the loop!
