Hello again from WVMC!
Do you like looking for information on the intranet? Is it hard to sort through all the "stuff" that is out there; trying to know if it is reliable or not?
I would like to refer you to several reliable cancer web sites. http://www.cancer.net/portal/site/patient is the patient friendly cancer information site of the American Society of Clinical Oncology...the national professional society of medical oncologists. Information is easy to find, but more importantly easy to understand.
Below is a link to part of their site that can get you quickly to information on things such as cancer basics, treatment, survivorship, tests, prevention and a whole lot more. I encourage you to explore it's many articles.

Academic websites can be trusted as well. For example, WVMC is affiliated with the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance which includes the University of Washington and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. Their web site is https://www.seattlecca.org/. They have patient testimonials that are very inspiring as well as scientific information in readable language.
If your interested in visiting a government website try the National Cancer Institute's (NCI) site at http://www.cancer.gov/.
Enjoy surfing these cancer focused websites. Hope you find what you are looking for. Remember, we are always here to take care of your cancer needs at WVMC.
Best Regards Always,
Mitch
