Planet Cancer - Planet Cancer is a community of young adults with cancer. It's a place to share insights, explore our fears, laugh, or even give the finger to cancer with others who just plain get it. We don't deny the dark side of illness and death here. But we also firmly believe that laughter and light can turn up in the strangest places.

Oncolink - This site from the University of Pennsylvania is one of the most comprehensive cancer resource sites on the Internet. Bookmarking is a must for anyone touched by cancer.

American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network - dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major public health problem through voter education and issue campaigns aimed at influencing candidates and lawmakers to support laws and policies that will help people fight cancer.
