Dear Mariann: Thank you for writing to us about your sister-law Lisa. I
have attatched a list for you to explore to help you acquire the knowledge
needed to give your sister-in-law control. The more control one has, the
more hope they have and hope is a large factor of survialship. When at
these sites don't forget to read archives. I would even suggest you go to
MD Anderson first as they have so many trials going on and are so helpful.
Your friend, Lillian

(On the Home Page of Medicine On Line (MOL) go to
Medline. This is a service of the National Library of Medicine which
provides literature searches in the medical journals. When you enter the
name of the cancer it will return articiles from the
last 3 years. The cancer links contains patient files. The Medicine
On Line Cancer Services are listed there including some quite good
international sites.)
