Every Little Bit Helps

Anne B | Patient | 06-03-2016

Help is so important when you’re going through cancer, in every area of your life. Help with the kids, with the dog, with cooking, with work. Help with dressing, with clearing drains, with showering, with getting home from chemo. When you are down and out, you realize how much you need other people, how important it is to have friends & family; why you have spent so many years building a scaffolding of support, not knowing that someday you would need it. A friend is going through chemo now, every other week, and she asks for prayers to help her through the treatments. During my chemo, I remember thinking that the prayers really helped me on my dark days, that I could feel them carrying me to the other side. So I am more than happy to offer my prayers, every little bit helps.

Our Mission

This is a place where anyone who counts themselves as a member of the Mass General Cancer Center community --- patient, family member, physician, nurse, researcher, social worker, care giver, administrator --- can come to read, think, and write about the words we all use, but which we don’t always understand in the same way. Often we use words and phrases that are common, that we use every day. Yet, their very familiarity creates the illusion of common understanding where, the fact is, we are frequently using these words in radically different ways, with radically different meanings. In our small way, WWTA is meant to help us work toward a common language and make the conversations we have about cancer more meaningful.
