I started a blog for my sister when she was first diagnosed. I had her look at it at first before going 'public' so to speak. She was OK with it, though I'm cautious to not say too much and we've yet to have a really bad scan, so I haven't had to cross that bridge yet. I'm privy to all info, being the medical person in the family (someone once called me her medical bodyguard, I loved that) I'm at dr appts and I'm teh one that does most of the calling and talking to them, they give me the copies and disks of all the reports and she calls me before doing anything. So I know it all, but realize that she doesn't need everyone to know it all.

But, the blog has proven to be quite helpful. Most of our cousins are in Canada and this way they can follow along with what is going on. Her friends get updates faster and without worrying about calling and not knowing if the news was good or bad. All and all, I'm glad I did it and would recommend it to other families spread apart and dealing with something like this.

There really have been some great insights from this group, what a great thing message boards can be!!

Now this reminds me I should go update my sister's blog, as today was her final Cyberknife treatment and I'm sure folks would like to know that.
