Instead of buying christmas cards write everyone a letter and explain to them that you've made a donation to the American Cancer Society then you can use the money you saved by not buying cards to make a donation yourself directly to the ACA.

So sorry. \n\nI think a good place to start would be to check leukemia or cancer organizations online to see if they list any resources or have news of experimental treatments and contact the doctors/hospitals directly.\n\nHope this helps and you get well soon.

My step-father was dying of cancer and my mother was taking care of him the best she could.  They were really strapped for cash and because he was so sick, they seldom left their modest home.  They lived 650 miles from me, so I couldn't help much.\n\nThe first week of December, I sent a Christmas card and wrote of a happy memory inspired by the picture on the card.  I put a dollar in the card, and on the back of the envelope I wrote,"On the first day of Christmas, my daughter sent to me....".  The next day I did the same thing, using two cards (mailed separately), each with a dollar.  The personal notes were always well thought out, some were funny, some were sappy, but they were always from the heart.  I made sure that every card was different.  By the twelfth day, I had a little extra money and I put fives in each card.  They needed it more than I did.\n\nAlthough the money was needed, it was the personal notes that they liked the best and the joy of being flooded with Christmas cards.  My mother told me that my step-dad looked forward to getting the mail every day to see that days cards.  My mom hung them everywhere!  It was a way of not only making one day special, but rather almost every day for almost a month (it took a while for some of the cards to get there).  Only a few years later, both of them passed away, but I still have the pictures they took of all of the Christmas cards that filled their home that year trying to express how much they meant to me.

go voluntary at a children hospital for a couple hours and read some Christmas story's to some children who are terminally ill, they probably wont see another one... You will never feel the same about what you don't have its life changing.....

Do a Yahoo! search with the keywords -- clinical trials and (the name of the cancer you're concerned about).  That would give you the names of the newest drugs out there.

I still think it better to send traditional cards. The whole point of getting a Christmas card is to put it up with your decorations, people love doing that -- and a printed out card from the internet just doesn't look the same.

I do! The more selections the better!  A friend of mine who is expecting mentioned how great it would be to have pregnant Avatars too. And what about Bald women who are going through Chemo...For Cancer Awareness! And what about Avatar tattoos too!

This year, my husband and I decided to do most of our shopping online. That way, we wouldn't have to deal with all the crowds, the pushing, the shoving, etc. We made a plan of what we would buy and for whom, and it ended up being a theme this year to get everyone's gifts (except the kids' toys) through a charity or organization. So far, we have given to Beads for Education (they make beaded items to sell to raise money for girls in Kenya to go to school) Autism Speaks, the ASPCA, Jamestown Museum (they raise money for their archaeological research in Jamestown, Virginia) Big City Mountaineers (they take inner city kids camping, fishing, ect.) Breast Cancer Research (we bought items through Avon...100% of their profits go to the research) the American Cancer Society, College of the Atlantic (they "adopt" whales to people for a year, and the money goes to research on finback whales) World Wildlife Foundation, The Make a Wish Foundation and the USHS. It feels good to give to these organizations who could use the money more than my sister needs a new pair of cheap wal-mart earrings, and you can still get something in return to put under the tree. There are soooooo many more organizations out there that need help, and now is a good opportunity to pitch in. Not to mention that I'm almost done with my christmas shopping, and I didn't have to leave my computer....plus, if you have family members that won't be here this Christmas, you can have something shipped directly to them. My daughter even got into the spirit, and cut a foot of her hair off to give to Locks of Love....and she's only 8 years old...I'm so proud of her for being such a good person.  So, as for being "ready" for the upcoming holidays... I'm about halfway there (I still haven't decorated the house) But I took this opportunity to perhaps give others ideas that would "pay it forward" this year. Good luck to everyone!

There are many agencies/organizations that can help in different ways. Some are for specific cancer types and others are for cancer patients in general. The following site lists a lot of these and should lead you to one or more that can help you. http://cellscience.com/CANCharities.html\nAnother which has been helpful to me, but is not on the previous website, is http://www.cancercare.org/services.html

The most appreciated would probably be something you wrote out in your own words. You can buy cards that are blank inside at most stores.\nIf money is tight bluemountain.com has a program you can download that has some free cards you can print out on your printer.

JAMA wouldn't have single case studies but you can find information/teaching tools that cover the things your seeking at the American Cancer Society web site or if this is part of a project contact your state Radiological Society or local hospital radiology department administrator tell them what your doing and see if the have a radiologist  ( licensed person who actually administer the chemo/radio tx under a physicians order) who's willing to help. Most jump at the chance if not swamped. they wont give you personal patient info but they can give you disease and treatment scenarios. hope this helps and good luck.if all else fails, check out the CDC's latest research and statistics. they cover North America and globally.

This is sweet of you it meant alot to me and my men!  \n\nThe United States armed forces cannot recieve cards to "any serviceman" this year due to fears of terrorism.  Instead, the Pentagon has set up a secure email system that allows anyone to send a message to "any serviceman." Just pick the branch of the service, type your message and click send.\n\nThe story behind the "to any serviceman" cards:\nSince 1967, when Sgt. Billy Thompson wrote Abigail Van Buren and mentioned that a wonderful Christmas present to our armed forces would be "just a letter from home," American citizens have been sending holiday wishes to servicemen and women stationed overseas every holiday season. Dubbed "Operation Dear Abby," the program has brought holiday joy to hundreds of thousands of U.S. military personnel deployed away from home.\n\nTo access the site, visit http://anyservicemember.navy.mil/\nMilitary Exchange Prepaid Calling Cards\nThe Department of Defense Military Exchanges have been authorized to sell the following prepaid calling cards to individuals and organizations who wish to purchase these cards for our troops serving overseas in Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom.\nhttps://thor.milexch.com/scs/default.aspx\n\n12 Ways to Support Our Troops\nBy Lance Helgeson\nhttp://www.aarp.org/bulletin/yourlife/Articles/a2004-12-07-12support.html\n\nYou can adopt a specific or random service person for a prayer circle.\n\nhttp://www.presidentialprayerteam.net/troopsadopt.php  \n\nYou can write to a service person.\n\nhttp://anyservicemember.navy.mil\nThere are dozen of organizations, which allow you to purchase items and present it to a service person, but there are other options you might consider.
