I highly suggest that people look at this site to learn the basics of cancer, their particular type of cancer. It will help you out immensely!!!
Ohhh my mum loved this song! It was played at her funeral but beyond that i have MANY happy memories of doing the Irish quick step with her to this....in fact we danced to this in my kitchen on the day we decided which chemo treatment my mum was to have....we loved to dance with each other and laugh always through everything....I'm working on being happy when I hear this song...sometimes I even manage it!

In default of better structure in the CSN, I'm storing here references to earlier threads of particular value. [Perhaps I can organise these a bit later to channel research most effectively.]

Not to knock THIS site at all, it provides a VERY important service as far as interactive support but the Fight Colorectal Cancer Website is very informative as well as the Advocacy - Get Involved. Links on what WE can do as far as being our own advocates to get more funding for research.

Website that has informational pages on breast cancer, and discussion board forums divided into categories. I use this on a lot for post mastectomy pain, LE, DCIS, and Mastectomy without reconstruction.
I highly recommend anyone new read the informational about cancer and breast cancer.

Another place to chat with others. Share ideas and interesting articles. We are collecting a lot of information, please stop by.

A very helpful and friendly organization. I recommend talking to them if you're having any financial issues with your treatment.
To effectively fight this disease, ECAN is establishing The Network, a community of individuals and groups who are concerned about the rapid increase in esophageal cancer cases and want to support the campaign for public awareness and the creation of more effective tools to detect and treat the disease.

We plan to coordinate a national public awareness campaign using broadcast and print media, messaging through partnerships with corporations and organizat
