There are a ton of communities for people to talk about all the funny things. Not many for the serious parts of our lives.
My child was diagnosed with Leukemia a few months back. I've been looking for a place to vent, and possibly make connections with others who understand what it's like, so here we are.
edit: as @jet@hackertalks.com pointed out, I should have linked to the community.

Can I still join if I'm a pisces ;P
My dad had leukemia and died at 49 during his bone marrow transplant back when the survival rate was well under 50%. I know there are different types and treatment has improved, so hopefully the outcome is good even though the road will be rough.
Also I have a funny story about how me and my brothers found out he had a diagnosis that I'll try to get posted this evening to help kick things off.

NO PISCES ALLOWED!
j/k
Yeah, apparently this kind, and him being prepubescent means there's a 95% cure rate. It's still so much for him. He's way tougher than I will ever hope to be.
