How do I learn more about colorectal cancer?

There's a number of great websites that provide good information for individuals with cancer as well as people who are just interested in finding out more about cancer. The American Cancer Society is a great resource, as is the NCI, the National Cancer Institute. NCCN is a very good organisation - the National Comprehensive Cancer Network. They have a website which talks about what general guidelines are available for different types of cancer - not just colorectal cancer - but it's a good site to go to to see if the treatment that you're getting follows general guidelines for the type of cancer that you have. In addition, the American Society of Clinical Oncology has a good website for people with cancer called People Living With Cancer (PLWC) which somebody can go to to get more information, too. Usually in somebody's community there are also support groups and your doctor and nurses can also give you resources as well.
