Think About Your Life

A WEB COMMUNITY FOR LIVING LIFE ON YOUR CANCER JOURNEY

WELCOME TO THINKABOUTYOURLIFE.ORG

Find empowerment: Anything you can do to feel like you are taking control of your illness and treatment will help you. Thinkaboutyourlife was developed by cancer survivors. We have used the tools on this website in our own experiences, and we hope to inspire you do the same.

This website provides easy to use tools for each stage of the cancer journey to help you:

• Process your thoughts and feelings
  
  Elizabeth shared the tool with her family to tell them how they could help her throughout treatment.
  
  
• Take control and make decisions
  
  Amanda used her with her doctor to discuss the impact of treatment on her life.
  
  
• Think about the "what now" and the "what next"
  
  The tool helped Susan to think about the next few months of her life after treatment.

No matter where you are on your journey, either that moment of emotional rawness at diagnosis, in the routine of treatment, or looking at life after cancer you will probably start to struggle with the inevitable question of "Well, now what?" You can't control what has happened, but you can exercise some control over its place in your life.

After you register and use these tools, the website will keep a confidential copy, and you can share the tools with whoever you want by email, print, or other social networking tools.

We have used the tools on this website in our own experience and we hope to inspire you do the same. How Think About Your Life can help - Amanda George, Survivor

What are co-survivors?

Co-survivors are family, friends, health care providers or colleagues who support people on their journey with cancer from discovery of cancer through treatment and on to finding a new normal. There is no one way to be a "co-survivor". Thinkaboutyourlife.org provides information at each stop on the cancer journey of how co-survivors can use the tools to support the person in their life with cancer.
