Hello OutThere! This is Janine, GRACE's Community Outreach Team member. I've been a part of the Grace community since 2009, just before my husband was diagnosed with stage 3B nsclc. Long story short, Don went through a lot and is here today living life.
I came across GRACE while looking for info about his symptoms and possible cancer diagnosis. At that time, Dr. West and 2 other oncologists (he somehow rangled into helping each month) were writing articles for the site and answering every question on the forum. As you can imagine, this was a busy place but also an unsustainable labor of love for busy oncologists and a growing internet.
I had no intention of even looking at a forum. I just wanted information about Don's issues, and at the time this was the only place with that info. Today most of our interactions take place on YT, FB, etc.
People still access the forums though normally stay in the shadows, which is perfectly fine. I usually do too...in other forums, that is :). Just know we always welcome comments, questions, experiences, or just share how today is going.
I'd love to hear from you. Let us know how you found GRACE (no pun intended) and how you use it. I'm so sorry you need to be here and hope you are taking care to live life and fight and love and hope.
Take care,
Janine
