The American Cancer Society provides the A-Z on cancer. It might also be helpful to find an ACS in your area.
The motto of this site is "Tools to Help You Help." Also there's a terrific section on pain management. The site requires you to log in, but it’s no big deal. Just provide your email, name, zip code and set up a password.
This site is run by the National Cancer Institute, a part of the National Institutes of Health, the government's principal agency for cancer research and training.
CancerCare provides free support services to anyone affected by cancer: counseling, education, financial assistance, and practical ideas. Download any of its many helpful brochures.
We recommend this handy booklet, downloadable from CancerCare. It's a thorough and easy-to-read reference.
