For more than 20 years, the observance of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month each October has provided a time to reflect on loved ones who have won and lost the battle against breast cancer.
I recently learned about an online Cancer support network called “I Had Cancer” (ihadcancer.com).
I Had Cancer (ihadcancer.com) is a new, international, social support network for anyone touched by cancer - supporters, fighters and survivors.
What makes I Had Cancer unique is the simplicity of the site layout and the ease of connecting with others. You can search the user community by age, gender, type of cancer, type of user, year of diagnosis and location. We encourage you to check the site out for yourself to get a better grasp of how it works.
We have all been touched by Cancer by either being affected ourselves or have a loved one who has been. The Topeka area currently has no one registered on the site as a current fighter or survivor, but I suggest if you fit one of these categories, you should add yourself to the network so you can communicate and be a support system for other Topeka Cancer fighters!
