People are fighting so hard against this horrible illness - surely we have to beat it soon? And meantime… I wanted also to say how beautiful your paintings look. I am also showing them a brilliant article in the Economist which mentions a trial for ALK lung cancer cases (the one you are in?) which is so full of hope. I love them – they do a great job – and I feel I have little to teach them. Cancer Research UK is the biggest cancer research charity outside the US and our very biggest charity. Tomorrow I am delivering a seminar to all the science communications team at Cancer Research UK on how to write better about cancer (for funders and donors). Georgia turned me onto your blog and I love it.

I wrote to you a couple of weeks ago and hope you got it.

Please include off-blog contact information. I will be able to tell you the specific posts I am interested in. So if this sounds like something you might be interested in being a part of, please contact me by email. But I want to get started compiling some chapters prior to submitting my proposal to a publisher. I have not yet secured a publishing contract. I would also like to arrange for all contributors to receive complimentary copies.

I will, of course, give full credit as well as link information. I plan to highlight some of the best writing from our blogging community.Īs I have previously published your writing in my weekly Guest Post feature at Being cancer, networking people transformed by cancer, I am hoping to get your preliminary permission to use some of your material in the book. I am writing a book about the cancer blogging phenomenon – its scope, aspirations, and reasons for being. Linda, I am working on a new project that I am very excited about.
