I have never seen it any other way. This blog has been my friend as I have learned to deal with a newfound disability. It was a companion I could rely on to understand when no one else did. I thank you for it.

Fare you well.

I disagree, mostly because I feel like I always need to censor myself on bulletin boards, and the exchanges there are very stock. I usually don’t get much of a sense of who an individual is on a bulletin board, and I question that the communities are more easily formed there. The women whose blogs I read are infinitely more real to me than those women I know through the boards, and the blogging community, though smaller, is one I feel much safer in than that of the bulletin boards.

As for your final thoughts on blogging “from the sickbed,” I completely agree with you. What we are doing is important. It will be interesting to see how or if blogs like ours change the perception of ovarian cancer.

Anyway, I’m glad you’re blogging, and I’m glad I found you.

Thank you so much for that.
