Introduction

The ruminations of the Mom of a cancer survivor.  My son is 23, a cancer survivor for 5 years, but only chemo-free for one year.  Today he is heading to the Cancer Clinic as he has to have more chemo.  He is scared....I am scared.

Cancer...wherever it hits...is an insidious disease, a horrible affliction that sends the patient almost to the brink of death in order to try and overcome it.

I hope everyone who is in my shoes; has a little one...or not so little one; or is caring for someone that they truly want to see enjoying life to the fullest again....I hope all of you will post on this blog.

My son's story so far has had great uplifting moments...and deep, deep heart-wrenchingly despairing moments. 

I am reaching out to you...to survivors and to caregivers.  Please share your story/ies, your good news, your bad news.  Let us fight together.
