Please help Jim!

Hello readers! Its been a while and I apologize! But today I have a good reason to post.

Jim Semonik, creator of the cancer charity compilation series, Electronic Saviors needs assistance paying for medical bills after battling cancer. He is truly an amazing human being and I am honored and proud to call him my friend. Please throw a couple of dollars his way to help cover his medical bills if you can. He does so much for so many, let's do a little for him!

You can help Jim out by clicking here, and if anyone wants to donate $500 in my honor, to have Jim throw a party for me, I'd be forever grateful ;)

One Week!

Join me next Monday, April 2, at the Cancer Caring Center for a workshop about writing about your cancer experience.

Those in attendance are welcome to consider contributing their submissions to the second edition of the booklet. Call the Cancer Caring Center at 412-622-1212 & speak with Stephanie for more info!

BRICKS article runs today

Traveling Companions is a blog written by oncology nurses and caregiver experts to provide support and advice for patients with cancer and their family caregivers. Oncology nurses consider themselves your "traveling companions" on one's cancer journey.

I was recently interviewed for the blog, and you can read the interview here.

Lots of things in the works and hopefully more news soon! Check back!
