I strongly underscore Eric’s suggestion here. I was diagnosed with SCC (squamous cell carcinoma) in my tongue in late ‘98. This was surgically resected; however, it metastasized to my neck in April of this year, and then recurred after I had surgery and radiation. I’m now getting chemotherapy in hopes of beating the dragon for once and all. Without the H&N listserve resource, I’d be a total basket case by now. There are no support groups in my area for this type of cancer, so the digest has been my source. The problems of people with H&N cancer are unique (as I’m sure they are for any kind of cancer), and it has been invaluable to me to communicate with the people who belong to the group. I wish the best for your Dad and for you at this very difficult time. -Jane- – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Check out the listservers at http://www.acor.org  There is a listserv for head and neck cancers and subscribing to that may be the most helpful.  Because they are listservers rather than newsgroups, the signal to noise ratio is excellent.  The cancer cure loons are effectively blocked from posting in these lists. Hi everyone.  My dad just found out that he has stage four cancer of the throat area.  I’m really interested in sending him a couple of support discussion groups – kinda like this one – Is there any large groups out there that are moderated so that they don’t get a bunch of advertisers selling their "special remedies"? Also, I can only find sites that discuss diet for cancer prevention – any good sites that discuss what are some key food items to include in your diet WHILE you have cancer? Any help would be greatly appreciated… thank you. Hi there, I have had cancer twice and found the best thing and only thing I could only eat sometime was pineapple chunks. Pineapple is a natural antibiotic and soothes the mouth and throat. I hope this helps a little. rueg Eric Unofficial C8 Homepage http://www.ngc1514.com

Try the Cancer Survivor’s Gathering Place at http://www.cancersurvivorsonline.com/… they are a very supportive group and I’ve never seen any advertisers posting in the msg board. Also, the site is very easy to navigate, some of these sites have some great stuff that I can never seem to make work, and I’m fairly computer savvy.You can also go to http://www.cancersupporters.com/…  which also seems to be a good site, though I haven’t been there that often, so I can’t be sure of the ‘advertising’ question. Actually, except for the aforementioned, this newsgroup is pretty good for support, also, and easy to use. Good luck to you and your dad. Check out local hospitals for cancer support meetings, a lot of them hold monthly or weekly functions for cancer patients, which can include all sorts of goodies.
