...I found your blog from the article in Newsweek! <br /><br />My little sister passed away from AML in October 2008. When I started a new job in December, it was almost a relief that no one at this job knew about her. Work became an escape, which I appreciated in many ways.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03141701113260686610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8359824223887150208.post-84898482316727654502009-07-10T18:11:45.217-07:002009-07-10T18:11:45.217-07:00Hi Matt and Wendy

My boss was the only one that "Knew" and then I started walking on my breaks with a pregnant co-worker and wanted to mention to her that she could save lives with her cord blood,which led me to tell her my story and I asked her not to tell anyone.Then I told another co-worker when she told me that her mom had lumps in her breasts (I wanted to let her know that I understood), she too thinks that she is the only one that knows. I guess I just don't want to be the "Girl with Cancer"... There are times though when I wish that everyone knew, like when you start to hear people converse and say things like "Well at least it isn't cancer" or "I was so skinny I looked like a leukemia patient". That last one just happened a few days ago and I just couldn't stop thinking about it, then I realized this was the same guy who asked some random girl he didn't even know how far along she was and she relplied, "I'm not pregnant, I'm just fat".Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11556822230032316371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8359824223887150208.post-30770868415492997552009-06-23T08:10:44.634-07:002009-06-23T08:10:44.634-07:00Congratulations!

I noticed that your blog was listed in Top 50 Cancer Sites & Resources by a site Asbestos News, as was my blog Being Cancer and others I am sure you are familiar with. I noticed the site as a referrer on my statistics page so I checked it out. It’s a tribute to our cancer community - keep up the good work.<br />Take care, DennisDennis Pyritz, RNhttp://www.beingcancer.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8359824223887150208.post-29646938122963328302009-06-10T08:48:01.504-07:002009-06-10T08:48:01.504-07:00Rock and Roll Matt...

I'm happy to have discovered your blog. You're so articulate in the chronicling of your own thoughts as well as the science and stats. Thank you for sharing all of this. I write a lot about these kinds of decisions.

I can totally relate to that. I went up hiking 3 days post chemo, and darn it - i wasn't about to let my fatigued stop me. It took me twice as long, stop every 10 mins, but by golly, I made it to the top.<br /><br />The sense of accomplishment that I feel is beyond words and I think, not a lot of people can relate to that. It's kinda like my bagel story. It's a small victory.<br /><br />Looking forward to see you here in a few weeks!<br /><br />YanniSQLMamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01358440176441588899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8359824223887150208.post-4387783914129337462009-06-04T09:55:13.572-07:002009-06-04T09:55:13.572-07:00I'm so glad you have a new job ... because I t...I'm so glad you have a new job ... because I totally understand where you are coming from.
