Life Changing Cancer

In May, 2006, I was diagnosed with gallbladder cancer, a rare and aggressive form of cancer with a poor prognosis. Information was hard to find, and I want to chronicle my experiences, to share what I have learned about this diagnosis and its physical and emotional implications. I also want to explore the spiritual implications of receiving a life threatening diagnosis.
