You need to continue what you are doing, and reach out to others for help. The key here in finding support, people to talk to and figure out a strategy for you next steps, is to look around locally. Not to freak you out, but I can see by your IP address that you are somewhere in or around Munster, Indiana. There is a Cancer Support Facility that you should check out near you, called the Cancer Resource Centre - here is their website of programs: http://www.cancerresourcecentre.com/programs.asp phone number 219-836-3349 As I mentioned before in this post, you need to come up with a strategy that is going to take you through the next phase of this. A plan will help you lay out your options, and through that give you a chance at having hope. Why don't you give those folks a call, and maybe you can arrange for a ride to the facility, or if nothing else, talk to them over the phone and they will certainly have numbers of local resources for you. There is another possible resource in your area, Methodist Hospitals http://www.methodisthospitals.org/supportive-care-services.aspx Good Luck and God Speed ! ~ Kit Hi Mike,

As I said in the previous replay to Catherine, I would be very open to the idea of using this site to help in this process, the privacy and geographic issues aside. Meaning where you live and where you are looking for a job. (regional, state, city) If we can use this site to help, I would try and figure out a way for it to happen. Best Kit Hi Marcella,

It is a labor of love in the memory of Tonya Sue Carther who created this site, and as a free resource to people who have cancer, have had cancer in the past, or have a loved one that is grappling with the collateral problems that cancer causes (financial, emotional, psychological). If we had a budget to work with, I would be happy to consider your offer. :) I am mulling over ideas as to how to extend this site to me more dynamic and useful, as the information is a bit scattered and disorganized at this time. I have also build out a Bulletin Board (BBS), but have not had the time to populate it with subject matter and user interface structure. I could use help with that, as well as an overall re-organization of the site. If you have any web programming skills and feel like doing some volunteering, I would consider that. Also, any feedback of ideas for making the site more useful and functional, I am all ears. One thing I have been considering is having a job posting area on the site, where people such as yourselves can post availability. Privacy issues are an important factor to consider though, so I have not moved forward. Thank you for posting, I can be reached directly at: nak [at] scr4m [dot] com Hi Catherine,
