The Power of Discussion Group Participation

A brief follow-up to yesterday's posting. I said that I am now participating in a discussion group on-line. It is great in that it is specific to endometrial sarcomas.

Yesterday we got word that a woman who had been active in the group died.

I said that I might not stay with it. But I had the opposite reaction after this news as to what you might expect. I realize how I need this group to help me stay current, share with others and help myself as much as I might help others. And it also helped reinforce the power of sites like EmpowHer, too.

Thanks everyone, who’s reading this, for caring.

We value and respect the experiences of all of our HERWriters, but everyone is different. Many of our writers are speaking from personal experience, and what's worked for them may not work for you. Their articles are not a substitute for medical advice although we hope you can gain knowledge from their insight.
