Glimpses of Hope

Dear Readers,
 
To complement our cover story in  the December 2009 issue of Case In Point—A League of Survivors: Cancer Care Update 2010—we present an inspiring, online-exclusive series on cancer survivors who have written about their own experiences in facing a diagnosis, preparing for their journey and attempting to come to grips with survivorship.

In reading each story, it becomes apparent that surviving cancer is all about attitude. You must commit to the fight, and you will almost inevitably need a team to help you when your willpower starts to fail.
 
We all know—or will know—someone who has cancer. If you find this series of stories insightful and helpful, please feel free to share the website with those who you think may benefit.

Here are the sad, heartfelt and ultimately rousing stories of individuals facing the test of a lifetime:

	Confronting Cancer with Humor, Hope By Karen Meyer
	Infant Leukemia Inspires a New Outlook on Life By Kristin Trippe
	Failure Is Not an Option By Marilyn Van Houten
	Surviving Cancer: The First Year By Barbara Kuritz
	I Am a Cancer Survivor By John Douville
	Praying for a Cure By Mariann Bowles

In closing, I would like to thank to everyone who contributed. Each of you is an inspiration.
