"When I was first diagnosed with cancer, I surfed the Internet for information.  I went to one of the major search engines and typed Chondosarcoma.  There I found several sites that started me on my search.  I recommend the Internet for researching your type of cancer.  If you are not familiar with how to use the web ask for guidance at your public library, local college or university, or at your career center."

- Doug Ulman
