This Time's a Charm Cancer Blog
Donald Wilhelm is a four-time cancer survivor and the author of
This Time's a Charm; Lessons of a Four-Time Cancer Survivor. His blog contains real-life advice for those affected by cancer. You won't find any "Debbie Downer" medical mumbo-jumbo in this blog though. No cancer statistics. No cancer outcomes. Just actual accounts and lessons learned from Donald's 9-year cancer career. I welcome your interactive feedback to this blog. Your comments and experiences can only help those seeking guidance for the first time. Or the second. Or the third. Or however many times it takes!!
Had To Say Thanks! - (Mark D., Burlington, Ontario)
"I want to tell you what an inspiration you are to me as a 30-yr old male who was diagnosed with a Brain Tumour last June 2008. You have an incredible outlook on life!
As I have found my way through what has seemed like a heavy fog - I have found sunshine (lately). You make me believe that I can do this Donald, and for that I thank you very much! My positive attitude is back."
