        "Patients should be more in charge of their own care. One way to do this is
to learn as much about your disease as you can. Much of the information you
need is already accessible, you just need to ask for it.
A copy of your laboratory, surgical pathology, and cytology reports can be
requested, but most patients do not ask for copies. This web site is
dedicated to keeping patients informed and in control.
We have created several web pages that can help you in your quest for
knowledge. " Quoted from above link.
        These (below) are some of the links on the site above - very good basic
information that I would recommend for new members of this list  - but also
many of us who have been here awhile may still benefit from the knowledge on
these pages as well.
