About this site

This web site was created in July 1999, and grew with each contribution until 2002 when the site was subject to an internet scam. From this point it was no longer possible to keep the site as an interactive community so the site became "frozen in time" and is now an archive of the interaction from 1999-2002.

This site is intended to be a place where a storehouse of self-help resources could be shared with others.

This site is for cancer patients - especially newly diagnosed - families, friends and medical support people, to facilitate exchange of information and resources about having cancer, focusing on well-being and self-help in order to maximise chances of survival and quality of life.

This site has been set up by Nola, a cancer patient from Sydney, Australia, who has survived (and thrived since) a diagnosis of life-threatening cancer with poor prognosis. See Nola's story
