Just in case you have not heard of this great site, I have listed it above. Caring Bridge is a link to others as you are going through treatment or for your caregivers to update others. Those phone calls from those that care about you may be difficult and time consuming during your treatment time and this site will let you update as needed and others can access it and find out what is the current status of you/ or the patient. I just got off the site after looking and reading about how a friend is doing at this stage in a cancer battle. Pictures can be added and tributes and donations to help fund the site and keep it open so others can hear the most recent updates. It is a good way to communicate and stay in touch and isn't that what is needed when you are dealing with all the ups and downs of cancer? I know when I was going through treatment, I didn't have the energy to be on the phone but I loved to hear from others. My husband become my assistant and fielded all the calls. On any doctor visit day, calls would go to all five kids, sister, sisters- in- laws, brothers, brothers-in-law, nieces and nephews , mother-in-law and father-in-law past and present, friends and so many more. I am tired just making the list. I was happy to know people called and cared but I could barely push through it all and adding phone calls was something that was far too consuming at the time. Take a moment and look at Caring Bridge and see if you don't know someone that could appreciate that connection. Hope and health to you all and it has been a great day! Off to see THE HELP.... s
