Support for young adults with cancer

Since my cancer is so rare, I couldn't go to a book store and buy a book to understand what the treatment experience would be like. I started thinking those with breast cancer or postate cancer were so lucky; there are all sorts of books to buy and support groups where they can talk with people having the same treatment as they are.

With the help of others, I have been able to find a number of general and young adult support groups. Here are the young adult groups:

bulletMSK has Workshops for Young Adults (click on the Public Education button on the left side of the window (under Cancer Information), then click on the Lectures, etc. button under Publich Education.
bulletGilda's Club in NYC has a group for young adults
bulletPlanet Cancer
bulletThe Ulman Cancer Fund for Young Adults

Here are the general support groups:

bulletGilda's Club
bulletGilda's Club in NYC
bulletGilda's Club in White Plains
bulletShared Experience

Here are sources of information that I have found useful:
