I am very aware of how cancer can affect a family, my father passed away from spindle cell sarcoma a very rare type of cancer in 2001. He was diagnosed in late January of 01 and passed in March of 01. My Father was never sick a day in his life so I am glad in a way that his suffering was not prolonged but sad that he is no longer with me. I believe you are an inspiration to so many people because of all that you have been through and dealt with. I am taking a speech class this semester and I am writing an appreciation speech for you. I would love if I could ask you some questions reguarding your past experiences and accomplishments. Again thank you for creating an outlet for people dealing with such a horrible disease. I look forward to hearing back from you Lisa J. Dear Carol Lin,

I believe you are an inspiration to so many people because of all that you have been through and dealt with. I am taking a speech class this semester and I am writing an appreciation speech for you. I would love if I could ask you some questions reguarding your past experiences and accomplishments. Again thank you for creating an outlet for people dealing with such a horrible disease.

Yes, it was cancer. Barely 50, he was young, and young at heart. LF was kind and brilliant, a warm welcoming bear of a man, always ready with a quip and a contagious laugh. He had been coping with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and treatments for a number of years, too many years. All of us get to share our lives, but he gave far more than he received. He was a neuroscientist, so his gifts and his sharing were out of the ordinary. With great modesty, and without hesitation, he radiated love of learning and life. It has been a difficult time, especially for his exquisite wife and three magnificent sons, for his mother and father, and his very dear brother. For those who had the marvelous good fortune to know him, his courage and love and laughter fill our hearts today. These are tragic circumstances… yes… but there is much to learn from them, and much to learn about doing battle with grave diseases. I keep thinking of Carol’s powerful video remarks from a few months ago, now linked to this space—we must not let our lives, nor our children’s lives, be defined by tragedy. Yes, tragedy will insert itself, and every which way, into our reality. We won’t get over it, but we will cope. We will not be consumed by tragedy, but we will get through it. Our hearts will fill with courage, as we cherish those who have mattered in our lives. We will share and laugh and love again. Farewell, LF. My brother-in-law died Wednesday. Yes, it was cancer.

Did a search and discovered this site. It's amazing to hear your story and what led you to build this site as I, too, have an ailing mother with cancer and I too have gone through all of the emotional heart-wrenching and questioning and coping that I suppose all of us with afflicted parents do. I think it's great that you've put together this site, it was something I've been thinking of doing myself as well, just never had the gumption to do it I suppose. I work in the finance world focused on digital media as they call it - all of the social networking, online community sites that you hear about these days in the news. So seeing this site really resonated with me and impressed me. People are indeed using the Internet and this social networking thing for good things, it's what I hear everyday but only until now I suppose have I really understood it. I hope you continue to develop this site and the social networking site you're building for cancer patients and their families. I'll look forward to visiting it. With much respect, Dan Hi Carol

Keep up your good work and your personal comments. You will touch people in ways that you would never have thought could be the case. Your parents coming to N.A and building a new life are something that I am sure you are very proud of. In Canada we have that kind of immigration in spades and we are a much better country because so many people left their homeland to start a new one in ours.
