I only promote products and services I have either used myself or feel comfortable recommending.
What is an affiliate link/referral link?
Sometimes I mention that a link is an affiliate link. This simply means sometimes I recommend a product or service and if you choose to purchase that product or service via my recommendation, my employer, Cancer Services, Inc., will get a small referral commission.
Of course, this is at no extra cost to you but it does help keep the hosting fees for the blog paid for and supports education and direct service programs at Cancer Services, Inc. Cancer Services is a 501c3 non-profit organization with a mission “to enhance the quality of life for those living with cancer and to provide the gift of life through education” located in Winston-Salem, NC.
