1. I don't see it so much as a support board, as a cancer themed version of MySpace. I've never really gotten into the whole MySpace thing. I'm more the BBS type.

It may turn out to be popular with young adults with cancer, but not for someone older who doesn't get the appeal of the profile based communities.

I wish them well with the new site.

2. Actually, it doesn't look like a MySpace model at all. It's centered more around personal stories and narratives, with a social aspect layered on top of it. MySpace is just a static souped up version of the proverbial personal webpage (remember the early days of the Internet?)In a way,

The Cancer Support Project is more like the blogs of cancer patients survivors that I've seen out there--bloggers who talk earnestly about treatment and their experiences so far. On a blog though, the conversation is primarily one-way and editorially controlled, as opposed to open, multi-authored and user-generated like this one.

I'm very curious to see the launch of this site when it's done, and if they'll be collaborating with other cancer resources out there.

3. I was diagnosed in Feb 2004 (age 45) with triple negative grade 3 (9 out 9 on the Richardson Scale) invasive ductal endecarcinoma. Had extensive necrosis within the tumor. The tumor size increased from .75 cm to 1.75 cm in one month. Had a lumpendectomy that had a microscopic amount of cancer in 1 of 3 lymph nodes.

Completed 2 rounds of chemo. Developed capiliary leakage syndrome was very ill. Had very other symptom except for blood was normal. Lost my toenails 4 times and finger nails 3. Was told by oncologist and cardiologist that I can never take chemo ever again. Had 5 weeks of Radiation with 1 week boost.

I am very concerned about my cancer metastasizing or reocurring. Have been quite ill with abdominal, back and bowel issues the last several months. Going for a bone scan, abdominal scan, gastroscopy, colonoscopy.

Decided to have both breasts removed hopefully in the next 2 months or so with reconstruction.

My oncologist put me at a stage 1, after the 1st year I am now seeing a consulting physician under him. He does not seem concerned about my cancer returning. I am very fearful that since I only had 2 cycles of chemo it would not count in treating my breast cancer. I am so scared that it has come back.

Has anyone else developed this syndrome??

4. I was diagnosed with Stage III Hodgkin's back in December of 2006 and am currently undergoing chemo. I took time off from my day job to get through this whole "Cancer" thing. In my spare time, I created an online T-Shirt and Swag shop called http://www.chucklenutshirts.com.

I have a section that is nothing but off color cancer humor shirts. http://www.cafepress.com/chucklenut/2619770
They are selling really well, but any exposure I can get would help. Can you please add them to your great website?
I was sick and tired of looking for "Cancer" t shirts and only finding "Feel Good" stuff. My shirts are for the young hipster cancer set. Please give them a look.


Thanks for your consideration,
