I am pretty much a beginner but learn more as I visit more places. This site by far has more info and is the easiest to get around in. I have probably been on approximately 35 to 40 sites to find info about cancer. I feel that you have done quite well.

The caring people who write in to this site are what got me through the tough times when my radiation treatment ended and I felt so badly. I love this organization and tell everyone that I know about it. There is one little thing that occasionally frustrates me on this site. I, or someone else, will write in some insignificant, or frivolous comment, and it will remain on the front page for 10 days. Then, just when I post an issue or question that is really critical or important to me,and hope for input from others, it will immediately be wiped off by some other topic.
Oh well, I guess life is not perfect!

So a whim of an answer (which requires no reply) can sit on top of the pile until some new post moves it down the stack. That is one of the reasons we are starting to move the posts which people think are particularly helpful or insightful to a permanent threads link, (at the very top of the message board page) so they will be there without all the other chatter. If there have been some posts which you have found particularly interesting or helpful, please email their name and author to me and to Chester our webmaster, and we will see that they get on the permanent threads pages.
