Other Great Cancer Directories
WebMD's Cancer Directories
WebMD is not my go-to choice for details about cancer - I list this resource here because it is just so extensive. You can find information on all sorts of cancers, treatments, and issues related to cancer prevention all on the same page. For people dealing with a recent cancer diagnosis, soometimes a large amount of varied information is the best place to start.
Breast Cancer Resource Directory of North Carolina
This directory, available both on-line and in-print, is one of the most exhaustive gatherings of links about breast cancer currently available. I support this site as a donor to honor my mother, who was a breast cancer survivor.
The National Cancer Institute's Cancer Dictionary
An A-to-Z of cancer terms. You can type in any terms you want and this resource for the NCI will help you figure out what it means in plain English. Sometimes medical-speak is confusing, and cancer patients should be anything but confused when it comes to their diagnosis and treatment.
The Association of Cancer Online Resources
The ACOR is a gorup of websites dedicated to providing links and other resources for cancer patients and researchers. This searchable index of multiple resources lets you search in a number of guides at once and get more results for your queries.
OncoLink's Resource Pages
Put together by the Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania, this list of pages at OncoLink is another go-to guide for people on the hunt for cancer links and advice.
American Cancer Society's Helping Employees Get Well Resources
The American Cancer Society's WorkplaceSolutions resource guide is designed for employers of people with cancer diagnoses. This page helped me explain to my boss exactly what my diagnosis meant, how long I would be unable to work, and what he could do to help me along the way.
The Testicular Cancer Society
The size and scope of the resources gathered here makes the Testicular Cancer Society's page the only place I'd point a friend of mine dealing with this particular disease. Includes sections on how you can help people diagnosed with testicular cancer.
