MsC1210 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Hi~ As many of you know I have a web site that is dedicated to helping people touched by cancer. You all know my stories about Brad and then my step dad and their battles with LC and why I advocate for all types of cancer. But November is different for me. November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month and I want to do something special to raise awareness. Using my web site as a platform I would love to share some of your stories! I am hoping to have a big banner on the main page and each week a different organization that deals with lung cancer will be profiled in the spot light. But I would like very much to include some personal stories on the front page to give this whole thing a human touch and feel. Whether you are a patient, a caregiver or have lost someone to this disease, if you are willing to share your story please let me know. I will only include first names, no other personal details, and will publish ONLY what you want me to. Drop me a PM or reply here... I really hope you wonderful people will help me out with this!! Many thanks, huge hugs and my love and appreciation in advance, Christine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasey Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I am always sharing my story, Christine. If you go to the My Story forum, find Kasey's Story. That is mine it a nutshell without the update that I am now a 4 yearsurvivor. Let me know if you want more as I really pared it down for this site. Thanks for doing what you do for all of us. Hope you get the word out to many by doing this. KAsey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
