Great site for young children, teens and newbies
The Adventures of Captain Chemo - The Royal Marsden Hospital
I was looking around for info on (low) platelets and came across "Captain Chemo." I had to laugh - just sounded funny. I checked out the site and thought it was a GREAT site for curious teens that want to know what's going on with Mom and also for newbies (and those of us with chemo brain). It explains things in easy terms and also has a setting for younger kids, I added this to my favorites and think everyone should too.
