Have you ever picked up any of the books in the inspirational Chicken Soup series? Think of this site as something in similar vein, but with a broader focus. What we feature here are stories of individuals who have battled cancer with courage, faith and determination. Some of them are names well known to all of us, the others perhaps less so, but all are equally heroes in their own way.

We also feature new research from various medical sources, which holds hope that for some sufferers at least, there are treatments that can potentially save lives.

Look also for news articles related to the fight against all types of cancers, and details on events being staged to raise funds for cancer research.

What you won't find on this site: While this site aims to provide hope, we will never feature anything that provides false hope. That includes miracle treatments, cancer lotions and potions. Our articles are sourced from respected publications, medical journals and cancer clinics, and we do not accept direct contributions from pharmaceutical firms or self-styled alternative therapy physicians.
