Cancer Blog Links Page

What do you think of this idea?  I have been cruising the web the past couple of weeks searching for other cancer blogs.  When I discover one, I bookmark it.  So by now I have the beginnings of a nice list.  I was, of course, intending to use this list for my own benefit – keeping up with various blogs and bloggers at the touch of a keystroke.

But then it occurred to me that this might be a useful resource for others wishing to reach out, especially to others with a similar disease.  Established bloggers seem to have their own list, probably built up organically as their site developed.  But new folks might well be gratified to find a ready-made list of cancer bloggers.

So I am going to work on collating my list into distinct disease catergories.  It will be a “static” webpage design, tabbed at the top of my blog and in the right column, so that it can be easily accessed and searched.  Let me know what you think of the idea.  And if you wish to send me your blog title and URL address for inclusion, or even better a copy of your own list, that would be great and would save me a lot of searching and pasting.

Take care, Dennis

    Hi Dennis,

    Glad you updated your blog with info about registering, etc.

    Feel free to list my blog for Triple Negative Breast Cancer. http://www.reneesbumpintheroad.com. Most, if not all, of the ladies on my blog roll call are TNBC.

    Hi Dennis: I think this is an absolutely fantastic idea. I had such a hard time finding anyone with my type of cancer as it is the rarest form of breast cancer.

    I hope this comment goes through as I have tried a few times to leave comments and was unable to.

    Thanks. Renee xoxo

    Hi Dennis. I also think it is a great idea. There are so many types of cancer but in the end it is all cancer and we need to have a place where we can communicate not only for ourselves but for families and friends to help them understand more.
    If you do manage to do a list you can certainly add mine.

    Make sure to tune in to Kaleidoscope, an amazing women and cancer special that combines the beauty of skating, the excitement of song and the brave message of survivorship in an evening of family-friendly, holiday entertainment. Kaleidoscope airs Thanksgiving Day, from 4-5:30 PM EST, directly following the NFL on FOX.

    Kaleidoscope is hosted by a trio of cancer survivors, or “thrivers”: The legendary singer and performer, Olivia Newton-John, and Olympic Champions Dorothy Hamill and Scott Hamilton. (who will both be returning to the ice for the first time on the show!) Kaleidoscope also features American Idol favorites David Archuleta and Katharine McPhee and Olympians Kristi Yamaguchi and Nancy Kerrigan.

    The show will provide information and resources on basic issues surrounding women and cancer…all in a positive and uplifiting way. Please join us for an enchanting evening of Sport, Song and Survivorship!

    HI-

    I think that this is a great idea, and could be a valuable resource for anyone living with cancer. My blog http://cooking4acure.blogspot.com/ addresses the challenges of pediatric leukemia, and its effect on the health of the whole family. Additionally, I include recipes as often as I can, as food is my career, and meals became one of our biggest challenges when our daughter was diagnosed with ALL. Hope someone finds this useful!

    Thanks,
    Jen

    Hello I do not have cancer so i obviously don’t know what you have been through but my great friend past away last year with lung cancer she never smoked a day in her life and I cry when I think about her but i want to make my own blog and tell her story the one under the khemo the one she will never get to tell by herself.

    I have breast cancer and am on round 4 of 6 chemo challenges. Just started a blogg. The thing that I missed from most of the information is from a Christian perspective since that is my foundation on which I build on. I am not sure it matters what kind of cancer you have, what kind of breast cancer etc, rather how are we going to continue to Run the Race in the midst of this cancer which is quite an anoyance if you want my opinion. Anyway I am glad to find this site and if I can be of encouragement to you let me know.
