Resources
Our members have expressed to us over the years how important it is to have information from a trusted source when their lives are touched by cancer. Our resource section includes general information about cancer, the treatments, side effects, and risks that one might experience, specific questions to ask the doctor, types of alternative medicine that could be useful, and help in balancing work lives with one’s cancer experience.
