Welcome to the site. I am sure that you will find this a friendly place to come when you need someone to talk to. We are all in the same boat when it comes to emotions and feelings about our health. Just know that no question is to silly to ask and if you need to vent because you are having a bad day, we are here for you. I hope you find this site as helpful to you as it has been for me.

Hello and welcome, we are glad you found us. Here is a link to our cancer dx page for your type of cancer. Take a look at it to get you started on some information. You will notice at the bottom of that page 4 of our active users who have had that journey already, you may wish to contact them for their experience and wisdom. Also, any questions you may have just post them in the questions tab and everyone will see them there and be able to help you.

There are also subtypes listed on this page to narrow down the type of cancer to match your dx.

Also, if you can take a few minutes and fill in some details of your journey so far, it will help others as they try to answer questions for you, it also helps others as they search through the data base to find someone like themselves. Confirming your email will allow you to receive updates and notices from the site when someone answers your questions or writes on your wall.

Thanks for being with us and let me know if I can help you find any information on the site. After you have an opportunity to look the site over and see what great things there are here, we encourage you to invite your friends, family or anyone you know that may be helped by the connections on WhatNext to join the site also. Just click this link to invite them to join. http://www.whatnext.com/recruit-a-friend

Hi, I'm Aliza and I'm not sure how we can help you since you weren't that specific. Carm is a wonderful source of information on medical issues particularly related to end of life care. I'm a Medical Librarian (retired) so I don't give medical advice (against our ethics), but I refer people to all kinds of places and people - doctors, institutions, hospitals, agencies, etc.

Since you are probably feeling overwhelmed now (from the message you sent), I'd recommend that you give CancerCare a call. The Oncological Social workers there are wonderful in dealing with Cancer patients and their caregivers and you may speak with them either in person or by phone, so don't hesitate. If there is anything else I can do for you, please feel free to ask.

I hope that the person you're caring for is comfortable and I hope that you can find a bit of time for yourself.

Warm wishes,
AlizaMLS
