“If you are feeling afraid, confused, overwhelmed or disconnected, you are not alone. Cancer is a traumatic experience and few people know how to cope with such a life-changing event. However, there are skills and strategies you can learn to regain a sense of control amidst the chaos and start feeling like yourself again. Our Core Program is proven in multiple studies with researchers from the Duke Cancer Institute to help people overcome the distress, anxiety, depression, and PTSD that often accompany a cancer diagnosis and to empower them to feel more confident making decisions and taking care of themselves. In other words, they feel better. The Core Program consists of 10 self-paced online modules with videos, activities, and live sessions for $14.99/month. Try a free live Core Program session to experience it first-hand. Whether you are a patient, survivor, friend or family member, The Core Program can help you navigate the challenges of cancer and reengage in life. It's easy, anonymous, and affordable.”

Wordpress Blog & Yahoo Group for MMMT
These sites are about Gynecological Carcinosarcoma which is also known as MMMT which stands for Malignant Mixed Mesodermal (or Mullerian) Tumor.
“This group is dedicated to patients and their families who have been diagnosed with uterine carcinosarcoma (or MMMT) or any of its cousins including ovarian MMMT and adenosarcoma or other sarcoma-based gynecologic cancers. MMMT and its cousins are rare cancers that have both carcinoma and sarcoma components. My hope is to create a community where we can share information and provide support to one another as we travel this seemingly desolate road.”
