Dear Ruth: I don't have the kind of cancer that you have, I am a breast
cancer survivor and the same age as you. Another thing we have in common is
the fact that with every form of cancer we all suffer the same pains, joys;
etc. Welcome to our forum. Glad to have you and we are all here with you
in mind and spirit. 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.)
