Cancer Web Sites

You won't get cancer from these sites, but you will learn a lot from them.

Since I was found to have cancer about 6 weeks ago, Roni and I have been doing a lot of research on the subject. Here are some sites we found very informative.

Cancer.gov - This is the web site for the National Cancer Institute, which is part of the National Institute of Health.

American Cancer Society - This name of this site speak for itself. There is a lot of good information for health professionals, patients, survivors and friends and families of those with cancer.

PMP PALS - This site deals with cancers Rare Intestinal Cancers, Appendiceal Cancer and Pseudomyxoma Peritonei

Brian's Story - This site was started by the wife of someone who went through what I am going through. She has documented their journey, and also has a support page which I found to be very helpful.

Sugarbaker Oncology Associates - This is the web site of the doctor in DC that we are hoping to see soon. Hopefully he will say that I am a good candidate for his procedures. I have been in email contact with a few people that have been to see him and they have nothing but good things to say about him and his treatment. It doesn't sound like a piece of cake, but at least when you're done there, the cancer should be gone.

Cancer Care - A general site on cancer

ACOR - Association of Cancer Online Resources

ChemoCare - A site about Chemotherapy

Washington Health Center - If we go to Washington DC for treatment, this is the hospital where we will be.

I hope that you find these sites useful, and never need them for yourselves.
