Wanted to find out everything possible about ovarian cancer and used many sources.

 



Going through the kind of cancer journey early on and things, I spoke about the cancer nurses being very very supportive, but I was a fiend for information. I needed to know everything. I was on the Internet, borrowing, buying, whatever, books, reading things that people passed on to me, and I was introduced to a cancer support group in my local town which I started going to, and I still go to.

But what I also started doing was going to this place called CLAN which is Cancer Link Aberdeen North, and basically CLAN had a fantastic library, it had a librarian that would help you with internet sites. It had every kind of bit of information, booklet on cancer of any description. All books about different kinds of complementary therapies, it had all the information about, you know, foods to eat etc.,
