Our cancer buddy, Karin Dubois, wrote about her experiences with losing her cancer buddies for the Globe and Mail.

Excerpt:
"I have two groups of friends: the ones who are only a phone call or e-mail away, and the ones I talk to but never hear back from, because they’re dead.

"I’ve come to understand how seniors have it tough. As they age, their social circle shrinks as friends pass away. I should have had decades before facing such losses, but everything changed when I got sick with cancer at 20."
