Welcome, dear friends, to the community you never knew you needed. Here, it doesn't matter if you or someone you care about is bald, metastatic, infertile, radioactive, wheelchair-bound, missing bits of themselves, or battling chemo brain. There are no judgments here — only friends and peers who understand because they've walked the same path. Come with us now; we have your back if you are still fighting. If you have fought, lend your voice and your strong shoulder. If you are caring for someone with cancer, give us your hand as we travel together.
