- On-Line Support Groups Through Usenet
- A valuable but little used on-line resource are the newsgroups available through Usenet. Whether you're using Netscape Navigator, Microsoft Outlook, or Forte Agent (our favorite), the newsgroups offer patient-to-patient interactions without the hassle of an AOL chat room. For starters, try alt.support.cancer, alt.support.cancer.breast, alt.support.cancer.prostate, alt.support.cancer.testicular, alt.support.menopause, and of course, alt.support.menopause.husbands.
