The Cancer Survivors Network is a community of people whose lives were in some way touched by cancer. Cancer survivor, family members and friends participate in this community in order to share their experiences and provide hope and strength to those who may be going through a difficult time due to this terrible illness. The community is made up by people from all over the world who have come together for support and understanding. It’s never easy to cope with a disease like cancer but knowing that there are other people that have gone through the same situation and survived makes is easier to fight. The site is totally non-commercial and provides a private and secure way to get in touch with people to share experiences and interests. Members can post message on the discussion boards, e-mail other members, and have private chats. They can also receive monthly newsletters, post information about resources that have helped them personally and perhaps help others, as well as post poems, artwork, and inspirational messages.
