There are a great number of helpful websites offering support for those dealing with cancer and their families, but one of the most helpful I've seen is a new site, My Cancer Circle. Cancer patients and/or their caregivers can arrange for a complimentary web page, which gives them a central place from which to disseminate news, coordinate support (such as meals delivery) from family members and friends, etc. It's got calendars, blogging tools and other features to provide a central place for getting the word out and coordinating the efforts of various folks who are trying to help.
It looks to me like the marriage of a project-planning team's intranet site and a cancer blog. Great concept.
If you set up a circle, it's private. Members have to be invited in order to get a login and password.
I've seen other sites that attempt to do something like this, but this one looks like the most full-featured I've seen so far.
Check it out!
Since my December 2, 2005 Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma diagnosis, I've been on a slow-motion journey of survivorship. Chemo wiped out my aggressive disease in May, 2006, but an indolent variety is still lurking. I had my thyroid removed due to papillary thyroid cancer in 2011, and was diagnosed with recurrent thyroid cancer in 2017. Join me for a survivor's reflections on life, death, faith, politics, the Bible and everything else. DISCLAIMER: I’m not a doctor, so don't look here for medical advice.
