PREPARE TO LIVE LINKS:
Our goal is to provide the most comprehensive set of quality, cancer related links on the web for Young Adult patients and caregivers seeking information about their specific disease.
Searching for reliable health information on the web can be a daunting and frustrating task. We've made it quicker and easier to find the exact information you need by pre-screening and organizing these sites according to disease and/or topic.
Please note: while we strive to only list reliable sources of information, you may sometimes encounter out-of-date or inaccurate information. Make sure you discuss what you find on any of these sites with your doctor, specialist, nurse or allied health professional.
The sites listed here are not under our control and we are not responsible for their contents, links, changes or updates. Any opinions, advice, statements, services, offers, information or content expressed or made available by third parties via these links are those of the respective authors and not of Prepare to Live.
For more information please read our User Agreement
This list is by no means complete. If you have a favorite site(s) you would like to see added, or you would like to see your site listed here, please send us an email and be sure to include the URL.
