    The Superthread (Read only) at the top of the main page?  There is a LOT of information that will at least get you started with answers and explanations.  Here's the link:

    Most of all, don't be scared.  A positive and determined "I'm gonna do this!" attitude should be first and foremost.

    Hello,

     

    You may want to begin contacting one another using the private message feature on CSN.  Members are strongly advised not to share personal contact information on the CSN discussion boards because these boards can be viewed by the public. Please remember that some sections of the CSN, such as our cancer discussion boards, are a public forum.  This means they can be viewed by the public (i.e. non-CSN members) and the content can be found via internet search engines. Members are strongly advised not to share personal identifiers such as real names, email address, telephone, street address, etc. that can be used to identify you and link you to the content you provide. Other areas of CSN are restricted to members only and cannot be found by search engines.

     

    If you need help using the private message feature of our site please consult the CSN Email section (https://csn.cancer.org/help#email) of our online CSN help guide.

     

    I hope this helps!
