It is the night before "day one" of this experience driven blog. By some count there are 10,000 plus health, medical blogs. I want to bring something practical to this offering for patients and anyone interested in navigating through encounters with the diagnosis of cancer. I am driven by daily encounters with people struggling to cope with a new diagnosis. Chaos, uncertainty, fear are natural responses when the orbit we live in is challenged by a life threatening disease.

Knowledge and the control that it brings is a gyroscope that allows the best pathway through a complicated map. I hope to bring a compass, and a "best fit" practice guide. I do this every working day.
