Thanks for sharing your information with me. I can't recall if I've been to thewellnesscommunity.org, but I personally didn't find LLS too helpful. In particular, I needed to connect with people who had been going through a smiliar situation. There were no support groups in my area, and I found that there wasn't a good database to put me in touch with the people I needed to speak with. Luckily, my sister and a former colleague put me in touch with 2 Hodgkins survivors who helped, and finding Imerman's Angels really made me feel personally better about things. Because they do their best to match staging, age, circumstances, location, it made me feel like I had a community available if I needed it.
What kind of cancer have you survived? Congratulations on beating it, doing well, and continuing to be a part of the community to do great things for other people. I personally feel this obligation to continue to do what I can to help people as we are now in a sisterhood.
