Blogging can be done on a free blog-hosting site such as Blogspot, MySpace or on a personal website. You can make blog posts public or private, giving you discretion over who can view your blog. Many bloggers allow the public to view their blog, because it can increase cervical cancer awareness and promote friendships.
How Blogging About Your Cervical Cancer Treatment Can Help You Cope
- Blogging about your cancer treatment can help you cope with the ups and downs of cancer treatment. Regardless of what stage of cancer you have, it is never easy. Writing your thoughts down can release emotions that you have been holding in or reveal fears and other emotions you didn't know you had.
- Blogging allows friends and family members to track your progress. I can't tell you how many times I had to reveal test results or treatment decisions to friends and family. Fifteen phone calls later, I was too tired to even speak. By blogging you can post results, appointments and more about your cancer treatment.
- You can make friendships. Connect with other patients and support each other. Share secrets of combating side effects and treatment successes. When you have cancer, it is helpful to have a friend who is sharing your experience.
