  • Steps for Living

    Check out Steps for Living, "the creative voice of cancer survivorship." I especially like its "Art of Survivorship" section with survivorship-inspired works by musicians and photographers. I'm certain there will be other categories to follow soon!

        Some good stuff - even for us older survivors. I really liked the description on the CANSWER.Org home page:

        You are a survivor from the moment you are diagnosed.
        Families and caregivers are survivors, too.
        Your lives will never be the same.
        You will be stronger.
        You will be smarter.
        You will learn that survivorship is an art.
        You will learn that survivorship is about choice.
        You will get busy living because you have to.
        Right I/O 4/17/06, Seminoma Stage Ib
        RT (15 days) completed 6/1/06
        All clear as of 5/8/09
