Who We Are

About Cancer Monthly

Cancer Monthly was founded by volunteers whose lives were forever changed by cancer. When we needed treatment results, they were not available to us. Three years of time and considerable resources were invested so that Cancer Monthly would become a reality and that treatment result information would be available to other patients. While there are many sites that provide treatment options, this is the only resource that summarizes and reports on the actual results of these therapies. You should use this information to help make informed treatment decisions with your professional healthcare provider.

Today, Cancer Monthly is one of the fastest growing healthcare websites on the internet with over 10,000 visitors each week. Cancer Monthly has been written up by Smart Computing Magazine, Wired and has been the subject of over a dozen radio shows focusing on health.
