    Three resources for you--Brava to you for writing as you have!  It's powerful.

     

    1.  A HEALING JOURNEY:  WRITING TOGETHER THROUGH BREAST CANCER by Sharon Bray (Amherst Writers & Artists Press, 2004)

     

    2.  WHEN WORDS HEAL:  WRITING THROUGH CANCER (Frog Books, 2006), by Sharon Bray

     

    3.  A website of weekly writing prompts for men and women with cancer:  www.writingthroughcancer.com

     

    I lead expressive writing groups for cancer patients and survivors--want to offer as many resources to you and others as I can--I applaud your writing!
