This is where you can access specific information. We have tried to group the topics in similar categories, so click on the link that is closest to what you are looking for. You will then find a list of possible web sites and other resources. We try wherever possible to check through web site information before placing the links here. This section of our web site will hopefully help you decide what you need to ask your consultants about your cancer.

Here are some tips:

• Remember that web sites can only give generalised information. Your cancer is unique to you, and your treatment programme will therefore be tailored to your needs.

• Many of these links are English or American. Each country has its own way of dealing with patients and sometimes the treatment you read about here may not be available, or may be provided in France in a different way.

• All web sites contain far more information than you need in one go! So please use them with caution – search for what you need, rather than browsing widely. This way you will avoid too many unnecessary scares!

Finally, if you have found some useful references, please contact us and let us know. In this way you can help us build this section.
