Hi @topf,
I'm sure bluegill will reply, but something I have found helpful to learn more about someone's cancer story, is to click on the blue link with their name at the top of the post. This takes you to their bio. Many of us post details of our cancer journey there. Otherwise, on the same bio page is a list of their posts/comments showing the most recent at the top. You can often find details of their cancer journey in one or more of their oldest posts. Or, asking as you have is always a good way to begin a dialog.
