Anita Roberts blogs gastric cancer survivorship

Dr. Anita Roberts blogs My Journey, about gastric cancer survivorship to let others know how she is doing and to share her thoughts and feeling about the difficulties and surrealism of being diagnosed with cancer, going through cancer treatments and being a cancer survivor. Dr. Roberts, a world-renowned scientist who was chief of NCI's Laboratory of Cell Regulation and Carcinogenesis, has found blogging a therapeutic tool for introspection and in communicating and connecting with others online.

Dr. Roberts has a special page in her blog for devotions, mantras, words of faith, guidance or wisdom tradition, that she collects and shares with others. She invites blog readers to submit any they would like to share, and she will post them in her blog. Her adult children wrote The Song of BellaDonna: a true story of hope when they learned of her cancer diagnosis.

Cancer makes a young woman angry

Keli's father is a brain cancer survivor. Brain cancer took away her father's freedom to get around because he isn't able to drive and it has taken away much of their time together because he ends up living where he works, due to that lack of freedom. Cancer makes Keli angry. In middle school, she shaved her head and donated her locks of hair to Wigs for Kids. Since her father's brain cancer diagnosis, cancer has taken away many friends and family. Now her close school friend, Kiersen, has a mother who is battling breast cancer.

Cancer keeps making Keli angry. Yesterday, she decided it was time to shave her head again, this time as a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. Keli asked that a dollar donation be made, for each of the six inches of hair shaved from her head. Like her mother Keri, who runs each day for someone who has been diagnosed with cancer, raising money for Relay for Life as she runs, when cancer makes you angry, you do something about it. You do what you can. Keri runs. Keli donates her hair for wigs. Cancer can make us angry, but it does not have the power to defeat us, as Keli and Keri prove in exponential acts of giving.

Krankipantzen is cancer-free at last

Krankipantzen is Stacey, a young woman diagnosed with breast cancer in February 2005. With open candor, vulnerability, and humor, she blogs the cancer patient journey. Yoshi, her cat, sweet and diabolical, as only a cat can be, has shared Stacey's challenges with her, making regular appearances in the blog posts. From a gallery of photos of Stacey sporting various and sometimes hilarious hats given to her when she lost her hair to chemotherapy, to Yoshi smashing the head of Miss Kitty, she is a woman who blogs well. Today, after grueling months of chemotherapy, radiation and surgery, Stacey learned she is cancer-free. Cancer-free. Life doesn't get any better than that.
