Cancer Internet Resources (1)

Sometime in 2008, A friend's mum diagnosed with liver cancer, he email me to provide him cancer-related information websites. Hurriedly, i was scotting for the list of cancer disease information websites which is still in my draft file document folder of a study i was conducting way back (yet to complete till today!).

I review agian the following websites, they are still active. These are some sites which may interest you (I find them reliable):
