Did any one else read they are looking for volunteers to take part in a study of a number of cancers that do not get much research into them,I am contemplating joining the study, hopefully it looks promising for future generations and maybe a better understanding of our cancers

Re: Forgotten Cancers

All the best to you 3 who signed up. My cancer is not one of the forgotten.Most doctors don't even know about it so they can't forget it.

Re: Forgotten Cancers

Thanks for this. I had uterine cancer 4 years ago. Actually my profile photo now shows the symbol for uterine cancer and September is the month to recognise it. Our colour is apricot.

Re: Forgotten Cancers

Have now registered & waiting for conformation e-mail, this seems like a good idea. Let's hope it all helps someone in the future.
