I've lifted this directly from Simon because Simon Always Said it best. 

"We are just ordinary people. At the same time, we are extraordinary, because we are people.  It's enough to think of how extraordinary this forum is, how inspired, how important it has been to people like you and me, because someone thought of it, and it became so, and here we are, otherwise alone, isolated, without the shared feeling that gives us strength to deal with what we must face. 

We are afraid. We fear pain, suffering, grief, loss.  We are not heroes. Yet together, we have more strength than we might. We are family"

Today is Giving Tuesday.  Because Dr. West believed we as laypeople could take in the difficult concepts of cancer treatment and use it to affect change in our or our loved one's cancer treatment I work with Grace.  I'm honored to be a moderator on the forums that helped me so much when my husband went through lung cancer treatment.  

I hope you can and will give.

Hello Grace Members,

 We are happy to introduce a new partnership with Clinical Care Options to help people better understand treatment options for those just diagnosed with follicular lymphoma.  This is the first of several such tools.  Other cancer decision making tools CCO will produce in the coming year include decision making tools include early breast cancer and NSCLC.

I hope you don't and won't need this.

Take care,

Hii again to the new GRACE.
Please know that we are still working to make the forums better and better. Some of the top things on the list --
Forum Signatures! - We are working to give you a place to make your personal signature show in more than 255 characters or less.
Avatar - Working to give everyone the opportunity to show their personalized picture
Formatting of your text - working to make this active, show links, paragraphs, etc.

Thanks for being a part of GRACE!

Looks like the search function is up on the main pages and forum specific. Nice!

Hello Friends —
We are scheduled to go live with our new GRACE site on September 4 around 3 pm, barring no showstoppers.

The majority of your accounts have been migrated to the new site, except for the newest ones. Those people will need to re-setup their accounts, my true apologies. Everyone else will need to re-sign in and set up their profiles, with new passwords. (sorry – we couldn’t bring all of your information over. I wish we could have).

We also, unfortunately, did not receive enough funding to pay for the migration of all the old forum threads. I am currently trying to copy and paste the newest ones into the new site so we at least have some overlap. Anyone who has written in this forum who is fairly new to GRACE and does not have an account that migrated over will show as anonymous in the threads that I am copying over. After you set up your new accounts I can go in and re-assign any previous threads to your active account in the new site.

There will be some stuff to shake out – including tagging and how the videos and articles are found within the new site. I will be continuing to work on this and ask for your patience and understanding! The good thing is that the search bar works. yay.

Thanks for your understanding, it has been a long time coming, change is hard, but change is good. I think you will like what you see (when we all get used to it!)

Many regards!
Denise
