I'm posting this info because there are very few internet resources for those involved with cervical cancer, and this one I rate as a must to check out. It has by far the biggest cervical cancer forum (message board) I know about. My thanks to Kelly for bringing this website to my attention :)
The cervical cancer support and information website "Jo's Trust" at http://www.jotrust.co.uk is based in the United Kingdom and it welcomes visitors and members from around the world.
They say "Jo's Trust Fighting Cervical Cancer is the only UK charity dedicated to women, their families and friends affected by pre-cancer and cancer of the cervix. This is your website. We are here to help support you 24 hours a day and provide you with the most up-to-date information on all preventative, diagnostic and therapeutic procedures for cervical cancer".
They run a very active forum (message board) here http://www.jotrust.co.uk/forum/index.php
"Total posts 61063 • Total topics 6675 • Total members 2558" when I checked on 31st May 2009.
There's also a "Confidential medical advice" forum, described as
"A confidential medical advice forum for the submission of personal questions and concerns about all aspects of cervical cancer to a panel of healthcare professionals with specialist skills and expertise about cervical cancer. The members of Jo's Trust's medical panel give their time and expertise free of charge and since its launch in 2001 they have supported several thousand women from all over the world".

Hi Dazmak - Welcome! Sorry to hear you've just been diagnosed with pancan. One of the best ways to reduce the fears and gradually get a sense of control over your situation is to develop and carry out an action plan. This can include being involved in the discussions about the treatment plan with your medical team, and gathering information on the internet, and communicating with others who've been diagnosed with cancer. Sounds like you're getting onto it already :)
I've sent you a private message with some links - hope you find them useful.
Best wishes,
Ed.

Yes I agree wholeheartedly with Nikki's comments! I definitely favour having resources provided by different people working on supportive services via blogs, podcasts and similar.
I think an index of the subject(s) covered in these blogs etc would be valuable. I came across Pandora's "Sex problems after cancer" yesterday - a topic which would seem to be particularly well suited to a quiet living-room style blog discussion, but I wasn't able to find any advertising of her blog where it would catch members' attention.
If I think of any additional topics I'll post my suggestions here. Looks like you've got plenty of topics to keep you and your contributors busy for the present :)
Cheers,
Ed.

I'm sure many young adults who've been diagnosed with cancer will emphasise with the beautifully expressed views by Travis, Asha and Lacy in this video

Thanks Raul - that half iron man sounds like a worthy venture.
Yes I'm hoping to drive out into the country on a couple of days over Easter and listen to the birds singing without the ever present background of city noise.
"I think I am just going to be around" - sounds like a good plan - just in case "Junior" (Cancer Connections) needs a bit of attention :)
Cheers,
Ed.
