Hi Jack,
Cancer patients should not have to fight cancer alone. That's what we, at WhatNext are here for. Please continue to fill out your profile and journey so we can get to know you better.
I am a 10 year survivor of stage IV Esophageal cancer. I have since moved on to two other cancers. I won't say survival is easy but it is doable and well worth the effort.
Be sure to visit the PINBOARD and BLOG you will find lots of inspiration, information, and also some humor.
