Finally! Website Launch and eBook Release!

As many of you know, I recently created a website called Practical Cancer Guide.  It provides information, inspiration and resources to people diagnosed with cancer and to the family and friends that form their support networks - because there are some questions your doctor can't answer.

And along with the site, I released my first eBook today called "Cancer Crash Course: What to Expect When You've Got Cancer".   It's been a lot of work, but definitely worth it - I think both the site and the eBook will help many people in the weeks, months and years to come.

All of this started back in 2006 when I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma.  At the time of my diagnosis, I was terrified.  The anxiety I had about getting a port, going in for chemotherapy and radiation, and all of the side effects from cancer treatments kept me up at night – and if I had been able to read first-hand accounts about others’ experiences with cancer, I think the whole ordeal would have been less overwhelming.  That's where the idea for my website and eBook came from - I decided I wanted to do something to help people who have been recently diagnosed with cancer.

Here's what you can do to support my website and spread the word to others that may benefit from visiting the site:

• Visit the Practical Cancer Guide website and read some of the blog posts
• Buy the eBook, "Cancer Crash Course: What to Expect When You've Got Cancer"
• The first 25 people that buy the eBook will receive a $5 e-gift card to Amazon.com (use the code "liamrocks" at checkout - without the quotation marks)
• The first 100 people that buy the eBook will be entered into a drawing to win a $100 e-gift card to Amazon.com (use the same code, "liamrocks", without the quotation marks)
• Subscribe to the newsletter on the website
• Subscribe to the RSS feed for the website
• Follow me on Twitter
• Become a "fan" or "like" the Practical Cancer Guide page on Facebook
• Pass the website link onto others that may benefit from visiting the site
• Forward this blog post on to your friends and family (anyone that wants to can use the codes noted above)

I know that's a lot of stuff - but I wanted to give you options!

Also, know that every dollar from the sale of the eBook goes toward improving the website: 

• More articles loaded with practical cancer information.
• More stories from cancer survivors.
• More tools, like chat rooms where people can connect with others who have cancer.

Finally, I welcome any feedback about the eBook or the website - positive or constructive. My goal is to make the site an invaluable tool for people with cancer.  Thanks so much for your help!  Cheers!
