This blog for me is about speaking to the battle against breast cancer from a husband's perspective. It hope it will become the site I wish I could have found when my wife was first diagnosed with breast cancer. It's not about documenting every diagnosis, treatment, or day-in-the-life of my wife's illness as that's something more private for us and between family and friends. That said, we do have a need to communicate with our close ones about how my wife is doing, news from the doctors or tests performed, and just how she's doing overall. For those needs, there is a place to create that kind of online presence.
My good friend Dan DeGolier (an excellent entrepreneurial CFO, btw) told me about a site and non-profit 501(c) organization called Caring Bridge (www.caringbridge.org). Caring Bridge lets you create a orivate site, similar to a blog, where you can inform family members and close ones about details of your battle with any type of health crisis (it's not limited to cancer, or breast cancer.) Caring Bridge provides more private access by requiring visitors to register, and use a password.
If this is something you are interested in, check it out. I don't know if it's something we'll do or use (though I'm letting my wife know about it.) I haven't done extensive research or checking into the site to give you much more detail beyond what I've posted here, so you'll need to do that on your own and decide if this is something you want to use.
