In 2005 I was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. I went through 6 months of chemotherapy treatments and came out alright in the end. I wrote about the experience on a blog I called the Chronicles of a Cancer Patient. CCP used to be located at PreservationRecords.com, which is an old URL I owned at the time. Today I moved the blog to it’s new location.
Over the years the cancer blog has been found by many organizations around the world – from a hospital in India to the Boston Globe newspaper. In April I’ll be traveling to Washington D.C. to speak to congressional representatives about environmental conservation and medical research – an opportunity that came entirely from the cancer blog.
I’ll lose 5 years of links with the move, and likely a lot of traffic in the short term, but, long term, I think it’s a better home for the material.
