� General information about cancer � Information on coping strategies as well as online survivor support networks

� Economic aid � Lifestyle strategies and quality of life information

The next few pages are a list of websites of all the organizations that offer information or online services for cancer survivors. You can explore these websites yourself to see what they offer.

If you are looking for specific information or services, the table on pages 8 - 9 can help you identify a website that hopefully covers the topic you are looking for.
