The listing of long-term survivors with their successful treatments in this web site is a long-range project.
It may take many months to start seeing some encouraging response. It may take years to have a good database
that can help cancer patients to make the best choice of their treatment. While this database is being constructed
and updated, we would like to refer you to some other web sites that also have listings of survivors you can talk to. Below is linked to Cancer Control Society web site.
Bladder, Brain, Breast, Colon, Ewing's sarcoma, Hodgkins disease, Kidney, Leukemia
Liver, Lung, Lymphoma, Melanoma, Mesothelioma, Nasopharyngeal, Neck, Ovarian, Pancreas
Prostate, Salivary gland, skin, Stomach, Testicular, Throat, Tongue, Uterus, Mixed/Metastatic
I am sorry to hear that Patricia Bishop (ovarian cancer) in the list passed away on August 27, 2001.
Following are those on the list of Cancer Control Society who we would like to interview later to obtain more details for the viewers
