Cancer Support

I've had a call from a volunteer from the Cancer Society, who's been matched up with because she had the same type of cancer and treatment. Although she is from Saint John, I gather that she calls people across Canada. She had the same oncologist as I do and thinks very highly of her, as everyone seems to.

Also went to a breast cancer support group, which meets monthly. About 10 women, most of who have completed their treatment. They usually have a program and then share whatever people feel like sharing, which included some very funny stories.

So these are additional resources for questions and help in dealing with things as the journey continues.

I've been following your journey & am glad to hear you've found even more supports. The laughter from their stories is probably the biggest help of all!

Is there a dragon boat team in Saint John? Maybe you can be charging up and down the Bay of Fundy this summer or next!
