Major Change Coming To This Sarcoma Cancer Blog

16 09 2008

I want to thank all of you that have sent the cards, made the phone calls, brought the meals and were so supportive, it meant so much to me and the kids.

We are doing fine and the kids are now back in their old school with their friends.  I’m starting to build on my internet business, which brings me to why I’m writing this post.

There are going to be some big changes to this site but retaining all of Teresa’s writings.  What has happened is that a lot more people everyday are finding and visiting Cancermonster due to them searching for something like “Sarcoma Cancer” or “how could we get cancer? and many other search terms, all looking for answers.   If you search on Yahoo for sarcoma cancer you will find Cancermonster.net on the first page right with all the hospitals. this doesn’t happen by accident, I did a little bit of SEO (search engine optimization) and it moved up to the first page.  That is what I do for a living, I get websites to the first page of Google and Yahoo for a search term and lot’s of traffic shows up.

With this skill I have decided to make Cancermonster a vehicle for Teresa to share her insights, her determination and courage for others.  I will categorize some of her best writings into sections, but will always leave  her blog in the time line as it is.  I am also going to write about what I learned through the whole experience and share about dealing with the doctors, insurance and children.

I wished that when all this began and we searched on the internet for “sarcoma cancer” that we would have gotten something more than hospitals and medical jargon.  We would have made different decisions.

With that I have one thing to say to those that have found this site by searching; Welcome,  please subscribe to the site by filling in your email on the right so you can get updates.

One more thing,  if you or someone you know has been diagnosed with Sarcoma, do not stick with your local oncologist and hospital.  You MUST get to one of the Sarcoma Clinics at the major hospitals and have a team of Radiation Oncologist, Chemotherapy Oncologist, Sarcoma Surgeon  and research staff that have clinical trials and meet each week and work as a team!  I can’t stress this enough, I will talk more about this in a future post.

God Bless, Daniel.
