    Support for Cancer
    I like the American Cancer Society Ovarian board. The women there are so helpful and brave. I also love the magazine "Coping with Cancer." They publish essays from real cancer patients. I read one essay about reading too much on line about your cancer and getting so absessed that you are almost not really living. I could see some of myself in what he was talking about.

    Support Groups
    Mary Ann,

    I'm always looking for new support. If you go to www.yahoogroups.com you can find a list of never-ending groups of all kinds. I found one for my particular aggressive cancer MMMT. Not a big group but we all have a lot in common. Also, get all postings right to my email address --- no sight to log onto such as CSN. One I noticed is UTERINE CANCER SUPPORT FORUM...give it a whirl.

    Another one I found but don't have the URL was a site where we plug in our information and gives us people local in our area with same type of illness specs. If interested I can check thru my notes.

    Never can have enough support. One last thing, I'm involves in a local support group (free) through the CANCER SUPPORT COMMUNITY, which has locations all over the US. I go each week for 2 hours to chat with other women with different types of cancers. We have so much in common and really have learned how to get thru life with a cancer diagnosis, etc. Wonderful, wonderful support!!!

    Good luck!

    This isn't online, but for
    This isn't online, but for people who live near MD Anderson in the Houston area there is a Uterine cancer support group that meets on the 2nd Wednesday of each month at the Place of... Wellness, Mays Clinic second floor from 12:00 TO 1:00pm. I haven't gotten up the courage to go myself but I have met some of the women who attend and they seem very supportive.

    Online Uterine Cancer Support Group
    I found "My fight against uterine cancer" on Facebook. Great group of girls from all over the US and some other countries too.

    No subject is taboo and they are absolutely wonderful.
