Telling Our Stories: The Importance of Personal Cancer Blogs

I created a blog for my wife (folicular lymphoma) and wonder how to draw more readers to the site. www.itsjoansjourney.blogspot.com If anyone knows anything that might help.

Wonderful blogger and cancer expert Jeanne Sather, author of the Assertive Cancer Patient blog mentioned above, forwarded me a recommendation for another great cancer blog: http://cheekylibrarian.blogspot.com/ This is written by witty Teresa Hartman, who details her battle with adenoid cystic carcinoma (discovered in her cheek, hence the clever name). Enjoy and share more links, please!

I have found that blogging helps me through my illness and has given me the opportunity to help others along the way. Oral Cancer is not easy. No caner is, but when you have others to listen and help, those who have been through it, some how it just makes it easier. I read Leroy's Blog all the time. He is one who inspires me. I'm finding so many of us online that just need to connect. Thank you for helping. Come visit my blog if you have time. It's not all about cancer, I try to keep it real and not a medicinal. There is an entire section dedicated to my journey, "The Cancer Chronicles." Cancer is only a small part of my life. My goal is to show that life can be pretty normal if you don't let the cancer control you! Peace Brian Blog: http://beyondtheglassdoor.blogspot.com/
