Welcome!
Welcome to We Can Survive Cancer. I am a cancer (leukemia) survivor who has, over the years, counseled other cancer patients through their journeys. My upcoming book puts that experience to work in crafting a guide for others in their battles against cancer. One of the many things I discovered during the course of my cancer battle and since is that we, as patients or survivors -- or the ones who love them -- are actually a family. We are a community of friends in waiting. We recognize the value of time and are willing to share what we have with each other. That's what this blog is designed to do. In it I hope you will find both information and inspiration. I look forward to taking the journey with you.

It can be hard […]

Resolutions

Each year we make resolution for the New Year. For cancer patients, those resolutions focus on getting through treatments and making it through the next year.
