TUESDAY TIDINGS: June's Support Group Meeting

Two things for today:

1. I came across an interesting article, entitled "How Blogging Is Good For Your Breasts". The name alone caused me to pause and read the article! The article appears on Health.com, and starts: "Studies show that expressive writing and talk therapy can help women with breast cancer feel better. It follows, then, that the electronic equivalent of such things, i.e., blogging, would also be good for your health." To read the full article, click on the link above.

It's an interesting idea - writing to help heal. This is something I've believed in for a long time - in fact, I'm writing my cancer story right now - using the posts I did on my cancer blog, Foob Babe's Cancer Journey. In July, our support group meeting will be discussing how to record your cancer story. We'll have two speakers/teachers: one who will teach us how to scrapbook our story, and one that will teach us how to write our story. I hope you'll join us to talk about these different coping methods.

On this blog, we've started our own list of breast cancer blogs that are helpful. Take a few minutes to visit these blogs (found on the left hand side bar). A few are members' blogs, and others are blogs that our members have found helpful.

If you are interested in starting your own cancer blog, let me know and I'd be happy to show you the ropes. ;-)


2. This Thursday is our Support Group meeting. The topic is: Dealing With Cancer Physically, Emotionally, and Spiritually. We will be dividing into groups, and talking about each of these subjects.

We'll meet at 7:00 at the Law office of Spencer Fillmore: 3301 N. University Ave. Provo.

Hope to see you there!
