@cure_magazine A2: Find and connect with others with your same diagnosis. Even the best medical team in the world cannot prepare you for the feelings that come with a dx. I have learned more from #patientcommunities than I have from any other source, specifically @colontown #CureConnect
#ThingsYouShouldNeverAssume Don’t always feel you have to talk about cancer. The person with cancer may enjoy conversations that don’t involve the illness.

@DCYACancer @washingtonpost @SmithCenterDC @heycriticalmass Me too! While reading the article I kept thinking how grateful I am for the free resources filling the gaps right here in DC!
“What is most disagreeable of all, is that all this combat rhetoric by definition implies that people who die of cancer just didn’t fight hard enough when, in fact, they had no say in the matter”
Ever considered your experience with cancer a “battle” or “fight”? It turns out this language and mentality around patients and survivors does not help as much as we thought... the-pool.com/health/health/…
