All of our posts allow comments, but I created these just so social media newbies and seasoned bloggers alike could share their stories on specific topics related to cancer. Right now the posts are bare, but I hope they grow full of your conversation about cancer.
Simply click on a question that appeals to you, and then click on add comment. Type your response and be sure to check back to read the comments of others.
One more thing – I do moderate the comments, which is just a fancy way of saying that I’ll read what you write and approve it before it appears on a post. If you can say it at the dinner table, you can probably say it here (unless you happen to share a dinner table with Howard Stern).
Here are some of the questions awaiting your comments, in no particular order:
Have you had an experience with a medical professional that was extraordinary? Tell about it.
Have you had an experience with a medical professional that was hurtful? Tell about it.
What has been your biggest challenge in navigating the health care system?
People want to help when they find out a friend has cancer, but they don’t always know how. What do you find most helpful? What do you find least helpful?
If you could go back in time and prepare yourself for having cancer, what would you say?
Has blogging and/or participating in other forms of online communities helped you in your cancer journey? In what ways?
What inspired you to start blogging about your cancer journey?
Have you experienced any “light-hearted” moments with cancer? How has having a sense of humor helped you?
If you have any questions or ideas for other “open for discussion” questions, please comment here. Thanks!
