The BREAST-CANCER Mailing List
The BREAST-CANCER list is an open discussion list for any issue relating to breast cancer. It is open to researchers, physicians, patients, family, and friends of patients.
Topics include discussions of medical advances, as well as possible therapeutic treatments, both mainstream and alternative. The list does not recommend particular therapies, but seeks to increase the information available on options and choices. The BREAST-CANCER list is also a forum for breast cancer patients and their loved ones to vent frustrations and offer alternative strategies in dealing with the medical-industrial complex, and to offer help and insights into the social aspects of the disease.
The list also offers a venue for the discussion of the work of grassroots breast cancer advocacy groups worldwide to announce events, to exchange ideas related to breast cancer activism, and to discuss the politics of breast cancer and health care.
