This resource is a work in progress!
So if any of you readers have discovered a really useful Cancer information website - do please remember to leave a link in the comments - then I can add it to the list above.
Cancer Resources…
Cancer is so limited that:
It cannot cripple love
It cannot shatter hope
It cannot corrode faith
It cannot destroy peace
It cannot kill friendship
It cannot suppress memories
It cannot silence courage
It cannot invade the soul
It cannot steal eternal life
It cannot conquer the spirit.
These are just some of the websites I’ve mentioned in posts. Please leave a comment below if there are any others you have discovered that might be useful to cancer patients or their relatives/friends. I will keep adding to the list as I research for posts. Thanks!

Homer Avila: August 13th 1955 - April 25th 2005.
Homer was a remarkable dancer, his leg was amputated because of Chondrosarcoma - yet he continued to dance until the night before his death. He said after the amputation: “this predicament to a hard-working dancer, it was just another challenge.” I salute you Homer. RIP.
