Anyone have a blog?
I just entered the world of blogging and it is a lot of fun. I find it therapeutic! Anyway, if anyone is interested in my ramblings, I will pm you my link. I haven't talked about bc much, mostly day to day funny stuff.
I would enjoy reading any of your blogs, so much talent and good-nature here on the boards!
So if anyone has or sets up a blog, please pm me the link- I would love to read. If you are interested in setting one up (pretty easy) there are several sites. I used blogger.com

I "blog" all my breast cancer stuff on www.thestatus.com.
I agree, it's very therapeutic. I haven't written much lately because I'm near the end of treatment and things are (happily) uneventful.
I'll PM you with my info in case you want to check it out.

thank you Hazel
I just checked out status.com. Wow what a great idea. I had never heard about it!
Good luck with the rest of your treatments. I finished herceptin in December. It sure is nice to be done! And thanks for the link to your blog. I hope you continue to have uneventful times!

Margerie,
I enjoyed reading your blog. Love the colorful graphics! And the term "Kramertized"...
Keep up the good work!

I don't have a blog, but I have a website that needs updating. Please see below. Maybe someday I will get around to making a blog. Kathy S. in Tokyo has a nice blog. She shares her life as an American living in Tokyo, Japan. Very interesting.

I have a crafting blog which I've added a separate blog area for my BC. If you want to read about my journey, click on the link in my signature. Blogging about my cancer has been very therapeutic for me too. It's where I could finally face and tell others about my cancer.

Thanks for the plug Elaine :-) . http://www.sugio.blogspot.com is where I ramble on about motherhood, friendship, treatments and whatever I can remember when I sit down at the computer and log on.

I have, or had a blog at http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/bebolcarreon. I had just been too lazy or fatigued and so i haven't updated it for the past months. Bad me. I should really go back to it though coz it was really liberating. Caringbridge is a nice free site and easy to use.

Anyone have a blog?
No problem Kathy. By having a blog or participating in things like Keeping Your Mind off Breast Cancer we are showing the world that life goes on with cancer. We can still do other things, enjoy families and friends, and participate in society. I don't have a blog, mainly because I have several websites about different topics and they take up some of my time on the computer. I socialize with friends and participate in a local interfaith group. I am also able to do my own chores etc and I have my little container garden that I started after the spring garden topic was started on this site.
