Talk Cancer

Question:

Hello, May I ask for some advice on which news groups to post a detailed question… A friend of mine has been informed that he has secondary metastasis of a stomach cancer. The secondary cancer has occured after 54 months of remission and it is suspected in lung and exterior of skull. I would like to make an inquiry about possible treatments. However, there are so many newsgroups, I do not know where to post a more detailed question… Could people suggest where I can make the post? Basically, I did a usenet search on cancer, found a few posts and observed the newsgroups… for all I know there may be more specific groups. Thanks, Tom

Hi Tom, For some real information, try www.medinfo.org/ , click ‘Join a List’ and scroll the page until you find STOMACH-ONC, a stomach cancer discussion group sponsored by ACOR.   I enroled myself. It takes a bit of time (hours) (password verification etc.) Best wishes, Ebo. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Hello, May I ask for some advice on which news groups to post a detailed question… A friend of mine has been informed that he has secondary metastasis of a stomach cancer.
