Cancer Wisdom from "The Hodgkin’s Army"

I came across a great site for those who are looking for real Hodgkins Disease stories from real people who have gone through treatment and are blogging about their experiences.

Brian (the guys wearing the "Cancer is My Bitch" shirt, at left) is the organizer of what he calls "The Hodgkin's Army", an army of 33 survivors, who have met Brian's requirements listed on his site:

• The author of the site is either fighting The Hodge or has already won the battle. While we honor and respect those who have passed because of this disease, this is a list meant to show the newbies that they can get through to the other side. Also, I realize there are loads of other cancers out there, but hey - I have Hodgkin’s so I’m partial to it. Eventually I might make new lists for other cancers. For now, it’s just us Hodgies.

• The author has written about their experience somewhere on their website in a place that new people can find relatively easily. It’s great if you’ve beaten Hodgkin’s Disease, but if you don’t write about it or don’t have an easy way to get to what you’ve written about your experiences, it’s not going to do our new guys a lot of good.

• Recent updates are important. Even though the last post says you’re doing great, the last post is in 2003. That could mean you’ve either moved on with your life or something bad has happened. A small, updated “I’m still kicking” post would be great to keep us at ease.Take a look at the list below - what they're doing is amazing.
