Everyone Needs a Fight Club

Tonight was fight club. It was a small meeting, but it reminded me of something I should mention: everyone needs a fight club.

I really wish I'd found this group fifteen months ago when I was first dealing with my diagnosis. It would've been useful to have been able to talk to people who had already gone through what I was going through and to take advantage of the things they'd already learned. It's helpful to not feel quite so alone. 

So a word to the wise: should you ever get a diagnosis of some horrible and potentially terminal disease, or if someone you care about gets such a diagnosis, take the time to locate the corresponding fight club and attend a few meetings. You might find that it makes things easier. 

Easier -- which is not to say easy.
