One of the best parts about doing Happy Magazine are the emails I receive from people who contact me to let me know that they’ve found my website and that it’s helping them through their own cancer journey. I live for those emails and they really make my day when I receive them. I do my best to write back to each email and I often find myself giving links to some of the posts I’ve written here on the site since I started as helpful ones to read if you’re just setting out on your own cancer experience. So today I thought I’d share those posts here and also create a separate page on the site for these links.
