diveman38 Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 My coworkers mother was just dx with lung cancer I don't know the stage she is almost eighty years old the docs gave her six-nine months w/o treatment or up to two years with treatment which I dont agree with. How should I introduce Wayne my coworker to this site he is pretty depressed.Any help would be greatly appreciated, and btw I really wish everyone a happy new year.

kamataca Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Honestly, I have thought about printing up cards with the site's address to give out to people. I just gave it out to our dentist's office manager. I tell people that this is a place of help that has sustained me greatly over the last 2 years. I've found that people always think they will remember the site, but usually ask me later for it again. Now I just make sure they write it down. It's really nice of you to reach out to your co-worker. Kelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick C Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 I had a co worker here. I sent her the link. I did the same with a friend. I don't believe they signed up or posted...but I think that's the beginning and the the end of my role (until they bring it up). I think this forum works for a lot of people, some know they would not benefit and thus steer clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bware21 Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Hey Rob, It's not your responsibility to figure out how people would react to you passing on information (like this site). Just share what you know and they'll take it from there (or not, as the case may be). Better to make a "mistake" than to do nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mary colleen Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Rob, there is no harm, and much possible gain to just giving him the site address. Even if one is not the "emotional support" type, the site is very informational and useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyW Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Tell him your storya dnhow you found us and how we have been able to help you in this journey. Maybe print out a page from one of your posts with responses, that is not too specific?!?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernrol Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Rob, Give him the site address or e-mail it to him then he just has to click on it. You might copy a couple of survival stories and give them to him with the site address. He needs to get his mother to the site she needs it too. Stay positive, Ernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
