In the immortal words of the Hee Haw theme song, “So long we sure had a good time. So long, gee the company was fine…” Today marks the end of my “This Time’s a Charm Cancer Blog Book Tour.” I have been overwhelmed by the response from the tour and eternally grateful to all of the wonderful cancer bloggers who lent their personal time to join in.

To that end, we’re wrapping up the tour on one of our strongest bloggers yet. Erik Hom of http://route53.wordpress.com , has a great, engaging writing style. His story of his Valentine’s Day in Vegas with his wife was so descriptive I could actually “watch” it in my head like a movie.

Erik is a husband of a Breast Cancer survivor. His site is jammed full of useful links to helpful cancer content such as: “A Guide for Clueless Guys.”

Originally intended to be a travel advice website, his wife was diagnosed with breast cancer shortly after launching the site. As one can understand, a lot of his energy and time has been spent writing about his wife’s journey and experiences. I think he’s found his calling. IMO, there’s a much bigger need for a website that helps cancer patients and loved ones cope with crisis.
