How to use this Blog

There are a number of ways this blog might be helpful.

1. It can be used in a support group of cancer survivors.  Helps in creating such a group are included at the back of the book, Fear Not! Learning from your Cancer under "Leader's Guide" This section includes "How to get started", "How to get participants", "Problems you may encounter," "Goals for each session."

2.  If you wish to do the study alone, read the first 6 Chapters of the book, Fear Not! Learning from your Cancer using this blog as a supplement to this study.

3.  Or, just ruminate and ponder a particular aspect of cancer found in one of the 26 posts of this blog, e.g. "Patience", or "Humor" or "Gains and Loses."  Share your thoughts on a particular topic under "Comments."

   In each of these 3 options, a 6 week study is suggested, starting with looking at who you are, moving from your cancer diagnosis through aspects and ways of coping during treatment, to ways of living in this new phase of your life.  All with the purpose of learning about yourself through personal growth and self-understanding. This blog does not offer medical advice but is about seeking a fuller and richer life for yourself through self-understanding.

Instructions:
  A.  Begin with page tab-"Introduction"-at the top of the blog. Read suggested Posts under this page tab.  Decide if you want to keep a journal and gather supplies needed for this study.

   B.  Going in sequence read the suggested posts under Part1 through Part 6.  Each Part tab has at least three posts corresponding with the 6 chapters in the book.  Be aware that to do the workshop in sequence you must scroll down to "older posts" to find the beginning posts.
