From Lisa Fayed, your Guide to Cancer
This week, I am asking you to share your cancer story. Not only is it therapeutic, but also helps others. You may have been comforted by other patient stories when you were diagnosed or initially going through treatment. What a great service you will have done to help someone feel less afraid or alone during the hardship of having cancer.

Pay Tribute To a Loved One With Cancer
There are few of us who can say they haven't been touched by cancer in some way. Whether we have battled cancer ourselves or held the hand of a spouse, friend, or child during treatment, cancer has likely been a part of your life in some way. For those who have had loved ones battle cancer -- win or lose - we want to know their story. Every story is different, even when the same type of cancer is involved. Pay tribute to your loved one with cancer. Let us know about their fight and what made them special to you. Today, you can share their courage and greatness with the world.

How Has Cancer Changed Your Life?
Cancer is a life a changing experience. It can affect every facet of your life, for better or for worse. How has having cancer changed your life? Have you taken more lavish vacations? Do you spend more time with family? Tell us how having cancer has changed your life.

Share Your Story: I Lost My Hair to Chemotherapy
Hair loss is probably one of the most dreaded side effects of chemotherapy. There is nothing you can do to prevent it from happening. It's just one of those things you have to live with during treatment. We want to know about how you coped with losing your hair during chemotherapy. Share your story with fellow readers and if you'd like, you can submit "Before and During" chemotherapy pictures. Show off your favorite hair piece, scarf, hat, or submit a photo of you without a head covering.

How Has Chemotherapy Affected Your Sex Life?
Chemotherapy affects the body in many ways - sexuality included. From impotence to vaginal dryness, intimacy can be a challenge. How did chemotherapy affect your sexuality? What did you do to combat it? Share your chemotherapy experience and read others' responses.
