If you struggling with depression or going thru a tuff time in your life maybe trying to seek spiritual help would help you like it helped me , sometimes I feel hopeless and with no purpose of life in times like those I just remember there some one i can count on and seek for the way of life and happiness. Everyone is important in this life even you , God loves us all and we have a IMPORTANT part to play. I'm asking you to give him a try and give it a try let him come into your life. Give him all your problems and watch him give you all the answers and solutions for you. I promise it won't disappoint you

Hello our very very patient GRACE community!

The GRACE site has been down for longer than expected while we performed our upgrade. We truly apologize, we know how important this is to you, and to us as well. GRACE is such a robust site with so much information that we found that this was no easy task.

As you visit the new GRACE - we ask you be aware of some things: *We are still debugging and encourage you to report broken images, broken links, and other bugs. Please report any of these in the Errors/Bugs/Support Forum found in the right hand sidebar of the forums. *The forums have a new format, and a fresh start. (note that currently we don't have the fun things for text installed - we will get this up and running as soon as we can). We will begin addressing questions as soon as they start pouring in! *The old forums are archived and searchable but note that they are closed for further comments. They can be found through the link in the right sidebar under Discuss & Learn - Archived Forums. *The SEARCH WORKS!! Yay! *We are working on the avatars, and also on a few other new options that aren't launched yet. Keep your eye out for little additions as we go forward - like Easter eggs!

PLEASE NOTE: In this upgrade, we were able to transfer much of the user (that’s you) data to the new site. You should be able to login with your current login information and password. You will notice that we have added some security features, so you will be asked to verify a 'captcha' form when you log in. If there is any problem with your login information, please utilize the ‘lost password’ function to reset your account. If you still experience issues, please contact us at info@cancergrace.org, and we will get back to you as quick as we can.

There are so many (and will be so many more) new functionalities within GRACE, and we will be introducing them through the “Welcome to GRACE” link, also in the sidebar of the new site. We hope you are as excited as we are, and we welcome your feedback. We thank you again for your patience!

Regards – The (very tired) GRACE Team

Recently I have tried to use the two search spaces on the website and can't find any results for fairly common words, like "heart". But there are listings for relatively uncommon words, like some of our usernames (but not mine). I can't figure it out.

Just wanted to give a heads up to people who may be interested that the newest Ken Burns documentary is on the Story of Cancer, and it starts tonight. It'll be running on PBS over 3 nights.

You can learn more here, including getting my thoughts in the top 5 next chapters in the story of cancer:

A reporter with the Kaiser Family Foundation is interested in doing a story on new lung cancer drugs and is reaching out to patients taking Opdivo or Keytruda. The reporter has enough Opdivo patients to speak with. If you are a Keytruda patient and are willing to speak with her, please send an email to Carlea Bauman, GRACE's Executive Director, at cbauman@cancerGRACE.org by end of business day today (1/6/17).

Thank you!

Hi! I had a liver metastasis ablated in September of 2021. I had a chest ct scan without contrast in January. I had a chest ct on Tuesday with contrast and it stated ablated spot is similar in size but more conspicuous compared to January scan without contrast. Does this sound like a reoccurrence?
