CancerGuide

I don't know how many of you know Steve Dunn's CancerGuide.
I got acquainted with Steve Dunn in 1994 at a cancer related mailing
list (email based) discussion group. We became friends and 1996 Steve
asked if he could use my text about Coley's toxins and fever therapy
in his CancerGuide.org, and included it there after I gave
my permission. Steve had been diagnosed with widespread terminal
kidney cancer in 1989. Unwilling to give up he started to look for
information and eventually found a phase II clinical trial of then
experimental high dose Interleukin-2 (IL-2) immunotherapy. He
recovered fully, regained his health and was free of cancer, when he
sadly died August 19, 2005 from complications of bacterial meningitis.
Even after he was cured from kidney cancer, Steve continued to gather
information from all types of cancer and helped to distribute that
information to other cancer patients. He received a grant which
enabled him to concentrate full time to the work with CancerGuide.
Steve's CancerGuide is at

informs, that team of volunteers has formed to maintain and update
CancerGuide in the tradition in which Steve created CancerGuide.

Steve Dunn's CancerGuide was once mentioned in the Scientific
American, and it also got good reviews from some magazines, which were
specialized in World Wide Web and often reviewed web sites.
