Hi sally,

thanks for your input. I see that you are seeking information...

I would like to know if you think it would it be best to have this information readliiy available online in one website... or would you prefer talking to someone directly - for example a pychologist who understands cancer realted issues... or a nutritionalist who knows what foods to eat that prevent cancer....or a personal trainer who can give you an exercise plan....or a mediation teacher who can help you relax...


do you have anyother suggetsions?
