What's this all about?

I decided to start this blog for a couple of reasons....

First, I wanted to be sure that I could keep my friends and family updated about my health and progress. If I didn't use this form of communication, I'd likely be on the phone for a few days at a time with the list of people I have to call :)

Second, when I got diagnosed with cancer I googled the crap out of everything and read every paragraph on every cancer website I could click my mouse on. If you were here, you would have seen the smoke coming from the laptop! Totally normal reaction I'm sure. Who needs doctors when we have the Internet?!

Anyways, the most interesting information I found came from sites like this one where people just like me are/were living through the experience. Although I have just been diagnosed and don't have much of an experience to share, I figured I'd start now from the beginning.....and who knows? Maybe someone will find this useful or inspiring?
