Great idea to do a blog review and collate info about various blog approaches to cancer. Cheers to all these authors and you.
What beautiful healing potential a collective space for blogs on cancer will have! Hats off to WordPress! As I launch more writing and healing workshops, I will be certain to send writers to this collection to seek out what blog fits them best! Bravo! -Renee
I had no idea about these blogs. I must check them out as I am a cancer nutritionist working in the charitable sector and blog healthy cancer-prevention/health promoting recipes myself. I would like to recommend The Savvy Sister (WordPress) blog. She is a stage 3 breast cancer survivor, ex-nurse and full-time health campaigner and author of a great cancer prevention book too. This review is a super idea. I look ford to more reviews with a healthy slant. Thank you, Michelle.
I was 43 when diagnoses with metastatic breast cancer aka Stage IV. I have my own blog: http://ihatebreastcancer.wordpress.com/2014/03/23/what-have-we-learned-about-metastatic-breast-cancer-charlie-brown/
and I also blog on behalf on the Metastatic Breast Cancer Network. Unfortunately many peole don’t realize young women do get metastatic breast cancer. Nor do they realize some risk factors: http://mbcnbuzz.wordpress.com/2013/04/08/a-wake-up-call-for-young-people-with-metastatic-breast-cancer-and-all-of-us/
Love this..
Great idea to bring these blogs together!
You may be interested in http://drawingcancer.wordpress.com
It is the blog for the Drawing Women’s Cancer Project – a collaboration between a visual artist and a gynaecological surgeon – which focuses on raising awareness and increasing understanding of women’s cancers (mainly gynaecological cancers at the moment) through narrative and visual art.
Also on an anonymous, and tragically humorous blog: burnthempinkribbons.wordpress.com recommended!
I’m glad to see others writing about breast cancer. I have written about my experiences with breast cancer and bipolar disorder on my blog: http://bipolarandbreastless.wordpress.com
It’s so important to get the word out to both women AND men since more men are experiencing breast cancer than ever before. It’s also important to know, as in my case, that cancer does NOT have to run in your family for you to get it. I am the first one in my family to have cancer. Thank God I have survived it!!
Thank you for the great list of breast cancer blogs. I, too, blogged my way to survival on http://laughwithkathy.com/
My wife had one of the first WordPress-based Breast Cancer blogs and it is still very popular and gets lots of traffic at http://fighting-breast-cancer.com
Unfortunately, I lost her in 2008 at the age of 33, but I keep her blog up because, as KatherineMBC wrote above- young women DO get breast cancer.
Thanks so much for all the links and resources you’re sharing!
