What a wonderful post, PJ! Your headline caught my eye, as a few of us, including Laurie and Andrea, when she was with us, have recently launched a new web site aimed at helping this very population: Mothers with cancer.

We have 19 writers for the site, a discussion board, a toolkit for newly diagnosed moms, a buddy program, and more projects in the works ... come visit us anytime!

We're at MothersWithCancer.com.
