Going through this cancer we tend to think we are a alone or just a small group. That is until we start to meet others at work, in town, at church, and even on-line. Myself in addition to this forum I also check in periodically with a Facebook group and with folks at my company who are or have loved ones going through this as well. I believe the medical community can do only about one-half of the care necessary for our cancer journey. Those who have experienced this from the patient's perspective is the other half. As my wife often says about MS, people don't get it until they actually get it. In other words no one (including doctors/nurses) understand what this is until they actually go through this themselves.
Good success with your group.
