I have just finished reading some of yo...Hi Jo<br /> I have just finished reading some of your blog.You are definitely one of those people, for whom I wrote the above post. As you will certainly know by now, there are very many of you, and I wanted to write specifically about you guys.We couldn't do it without you!!<br /> <br /> The effects of a cancer diagnosis on others is extremely understated, and there is very little official support to be found.Generally people just 'get on with it' because that's what we do. I wanted to say 'thank you' and ensure that people thought about their roles and what support they might require.<br /><br /> Like you, I do find writing therapeutic, and I wanted to be open about all aspects of my experience, to show people that they are not the only ones feeling as they do.Fear can be very destructive.<br /><br /> I wish you and your family well and thank you for your comments, they are much appreciated.I look forward to welcoming you back to the blog<br /><br /> Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05208572330195914101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8749436707205297492.post-68899497266172741712012-10-21T23:40:19.954+01:002012-10-21T23:40:19.954+01:00Thank you Chris for such an empathetic and well wr...Thank you Chris for such an empathetic and well written post. I am a carer for my daughter who has osteosarcoma (bone cancer), so totally relate to everything you have said and have found comfort in knowing my feelings are "normal" (not that there is anything normal about cancer and the impact it has on the person with it and those around them!)<br />I blog about our cancer journey and find it so therapeutic, I will be following yours going forward. Keep up the great work. JoJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11094193245442758614noreply@blogger.com
