Amanda Collins I am a writer for Dana-Farber looking into how patients use social networking technology during or after their treatment. With the scores of survivor/support groups on Facebook and Twitter, and the opportunity to blog or journal online, there's the chance to reach out to the world after a dianosis. Are patients using these tools? Please send me a message with your thoughts. Thanks!
Rhonda Strohofer McPherson I love you! And support you!

My mom died 30 years ago (breast cancer and complications). I have no doubts that, had she become ill in this century, she would have LIVED. When my stepfather passed away, I got, among other things, a personal letter that her doctor from Sidney-Farber wrote to us. When I showed it to my 19-year-old daughter, she said ...she was just blown away. "I have NEVER heard of a doctor doing that," she said. My 51-year-old husband said exactly the same thing. Having outlived my mother's life now by 6 years, I often feel like I'm on borrowed time. Sure wish I were living around Boston still!Read More
