There is an almost inexhaustible supply of information relating to all aspects of cancer out there in cyberspace. Before you start  trawling around, try to decide how much detail you really want to know and what benefit it may be to you. Too much information can be confusing and difficult to relate to your own specific situation.
       After diagnosis I resisted the urge to browse and relied on the members of the cancer team responsible for my treatment. My core beliefs were that  firstly, I could not change anything prior to my diagnosis, and secondly, I had been assigned to the best experts in their field who were committed to try their best for me. My faith in the team gave me a positive attitude which provided the strength to endure the treatment and speed my recovery.
       If you feel that more information would help you individually, have a browse through the following UK based sites first:

         www.cancerbacup.org.uk             www.cancerhelp.org.uk               www.macmillan.org.uk

I found that the most comforting information comes from other patients in similar circumstances. Only they actually know how it feels to be diagnosed and treated for cancer. A site dedicated to the experiences of other cancer patients is:
