Caring Bridge Is Easy Way For Cancer Patients To Blog
I have found that a blog/Web site called CaringBridge is the easiest cancer patient blog to use. Several friends set mine up immediately after I was first diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma last year. Too stunned and sick to use it at first, I found that the response from friends, family and co-workers was overwhelming. So I began to journal on my site regularly. This helped my state of mind at the time. But it also left me with a permanent record of my life after cancer that I cherish today. There is no cost to set up a site. The company does solicit the author later for a donation every six months or so. I think that I contributed $30 last year. To see how CaringBridge works, or to access details about my winning battle (so far!) with Myeloma, click on the CaringBridge link on the right side of this page. Feel good and keep smiling- Pat

Hi Pat,
I'm glad to hear you found CaringBridge easy to use during your cancer journey. Are you aware of another service, CarePages.com? CarePages offers a similar free service to journal your experience and keep friends and family in the loop. The site also offers a community of others facing healthcare challenges - discussions, blogs, and the ability to find people like you through an onsite search. I encourage you to check it out and please let me know what you think.
Thanks!
