I thought I would try one post

I would love to see this group keep going. I have seen the love and support shown to those fighting cancer and I hope it stays.

7. Kick to support this group. We've probably all known someone, some family, who've dealt with cancer.

I am a twelve year breast cancer survivor. I think this group is so important. I hope it will always be here for those of us that need it. There has been so much wisdom shared and love given it would really be a shame if it were not here.

it is so common, and people need so much support. this seems like a vital group.

I've been fighting the blasted stuff for 4 years. I go back to MD Anderson this week for more tests and likely more treatment.

I hope this group stays, also. I'm always checking in to see how everyone is doing.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.

Tell me more...
