Hi there,

My name is Doug and I am interested in helping others fine a treatment
for themselves of their loved ones with cancer. I have a medical back
ground and enjoy helping people. I know what you are going through, 10
years ago the doctors found a micro-adenoma in my pituitary gland. I
was lucky. After two weeks of waiting and worrying they found out it
was not cancer. I also have a spinal cord injury and have been
disabled since 1991. I have had many medical problems in my life and
know how bad things can get at times. I am thinking of starting up a
company that helps people that have cancer. This company would help
those who have been told that this is no medical treatment for them.
This company would put those people in touch with places doing
research, clinical drug trials and trying out new surgerys that may
not be 100% proven yet but show good results. I believe their is
always hope. I believe their is always someone out there that can help
if you can locate them in time. Please let me know if you think this
kind of company would help out. Your feedback will determine if I
start this business of not. Please email me at: medical_hope@yahoo.com

Doug,

There already are free services that connect people with clinical trials
in the United States.

See http://cancer.gov and click "Clinical Trials", or try
http://clinicaltrials.gov

These services, both run by the U.S. National Institutes of Health,
base their information on data submitted to them by organizations running
clinical trials.  In many cases, submission of information on the trials
to the NIH is mandatory.

There are also free telephone services provided by the National
Cancer Institute at 1-800-4-CANCER

I don't know how you could provide better information than they do.

I would like to know how you propose to do it.
