When I first developed rectal cancer, my anxiety led me to read the new posts on this website every day,and to post frequently also. I remember your posts along with others, including STARBUCKS and BROWNBAGGER. Unfortunately, most of them are now deceased.
Good luck on your new assignment and continued good health.

You guys are the best bunch ever. I practically lived on Colon Talk for years, and this place has taught me so much. It was the first place I went to share my cancer news - to celebrate the good with all of you, and to take a breath with the bad...but always with Belle's (NWgirl) words in my heart: "Don't retreat - Reload!" Thank you for always being here for me. We've got an amazing team that I am excited to work with, and I am truly humbled by your faith and support.

Phuong, congratulations on your new position! I know you'll do a great job.

I have two questions for you.

(1.) In your capacity as Colon Club president, could you do something about fixing up the out-of-date pages on the website? For example, the page on Board of Directors doesn't have several of the recently appointed Board Members.

https://colonclub.com/our-history/colon-club-board-of-directors/

(2.) Could you do something about specifying how many officers the club currently has, what their various responsibilities are, and who the current office-holders are? For example, President; Executive V.P.; V.P. in Charge of Communications; Blog Master; Kimberly Fund Manager; etc., etc. It's not very clear who does what on the Club's management team. Also, who is in charge of the annual "On the Rise" Featured Survivors/Caregivers program? Who is editor of the "On the Rise" magazine? It's not clear.

Thank you
