External links

The external links section needs some pruning. I've removed two dead links. The links in this article really ought to be primarily about cancer support groups (how to run them, for example) instead of to cancer support groups (sign up here if you have cancer). So far (in a very quick check), the only one that has any information like that is the mentalhelp.net link. Does anyone else have any opinions? Are there better subpages available on some of these websites? WhatamIdoing (talk) 22:01, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

I just found this site, I’ve been sick and getting sicker for over 2 years. I’m on second dr now, he just told me over the phone it looks like cancer, after treating for a thyroid problem and not listening to me. I’ve lost so much weight my BMI was 16 before I lost more. I called insurance company they found me new dr I have app Monday. I looked up all symptoms I’m sure it is cancer and I feel so alone. Don’t know if this site is something that will help me deal with this Rosehaus (talk) 21:20, 29 September 2018 (UTC)

Cancer

I’ve been sick over 2 years. Drs don’t seem to care, I haven’t been able to find a good one. Thursday dr said he didn’t want to alarm me but sounds like cancer. I’ve been going in for blood test every month and all he does is call in different thyroid med. I’ve ask to see endroconoligest he said I didn’t need to. I keep calling telling them I just keep getting sicker, more symptoms and loosing so much weight. The girl that answers phone told me it’s all thyroid and nothing else to do. How can I help getting alarmed when I’ve been trying to tell 2 drs how sick I am and they don’t listen and now telling me cancer on phone and they can’t get me in for over a week. I haven’t been able to think of anything else, I can’t sleep or eat, before the phone call I was trying to eat right exercise and get better, now I gave up. I feel so alone too, I think that’s my biggest problem and probably what got me sick in the first place. I’m looking for some support from people going through same thing. Actually I hope no one is going through this but I’m sure people have it worse. If anyone has any advice I would appreciate it Thanks Rosehaus (talk) 21:35, 29 September 2018 (UTC)
