Alternative Medicine
Contains good evidence-based reviews of herbs and plants, biologics, special diets, and other regimens and relevant US Food and Drug Administration advisories.

Alternative Medicine
Another reliable site.

Alternative medicine
There is really no such thing as "Alternative Medicine". There are simply things that work, things that don't, and things that await proper testing. Many well-meaning friends and relatives will have favourite remedies and cancer theories to share with you. Many of these are simply untrue. Some are dangerous. Most are driven by those whose sole interest is to make money from people who are desperate. If there was a simple solution for cancer the world would beat a path to the proponents.
Oncologists do not have a vested interest in keeping valuable treatment information away from our patients.
One very useful website for finding out if one of these proposed treatments is genuine or not is this one. It is highly informative, regularly updated and very accurate. I strongly recommend it to you. Should your answer not be there, please ask me at your next consultation and I will research it for you.

Breast Cancer Action Group
This is the NSW branch of this excellent patient advocacy organisation. It has much to improve the lot of women with breast cancer in Australia.

Breast Cancer Information from Breastcancer.org
This is a very comprehensive US site which is regularly updated and free from industry bias.

Breast Cancer Information from the National Cancer Institute
Excellent up-to-date very reliable information from the top US government cancer body.

Breast cancer support
Useful Australian site for those undergoing breast cancer treatment.

Cancer Information from Memorial Sloan Kettering
This is the cancer information site for the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Centre. This Centre, located in New York, is one of the leading cancer treatment hospitals in the United States. Many Australian oncologists have trained there. Generally speaking, the information offered here is reliable and impartial. However, there is some bias towards the particular clinical research programs which are being conducted at this institution, and, like all institutional websites, the information has been vetted by committee and therefore is perhaps a little "politically correct".

Cancer Information from NCI
The National Cancer Institute (USA) has a wealth of good information on everything from cancer research and clinical trials to supportive care.

Cancer Institute of NSW
Excellent local information and very reliable up-to-date information on cancer treatments

Drug Information
This is a comprehensive and unbiased American site offering good drug information. Remember that many of the trade names may differ, though.

NSW Breast Cancer Institute
Helpful information on breast cancer.

Westmead Institute for Cancer Research
Read about our cancer research program at Westmead in Sydney. Your subscription to the "Members Only" area of this site supports this Institute.

Womens' Health and Cancer
This site is generally useful and reliable for information on breast cancer treatments, and managing menopausal symptoms, together with some useful and responsible advice about weight reduction and diets.
