And here are more tips from other board members. Feel free to add your own if you have one.

Sara, thanks for doing this.

Unofficial NED Survey
I think a lot of people, especially the newbies find the Unofficial NED Survey full of hope, so you might want to include it. This is the latest one:

Clinical Trials

Adding a link to Clinical Trials . You can also call the Lymphoma Research Foundation at 1-800-500-9976 and they will conduct a clinical trial search for you. Or email them at helpline@lymphoma.org



Acronyms

Post explaining all those initials commonly used here.

Sub Types

A link to a list of NHL Sub Types




Here's a tip to help maintain your privacy as this forum is both indexed and highly ranked by google: do not list your full name in your forum information (click on My Home at the top and Personal Information at the bottom of that page). If your full name is listed your link to lymphoma could be found by prospective employers who could then subtly and illegally discriminate against you. One forum member believes that happened to them.

This is a post with sites that give back to cancer orgs when you buy through them. If you're looking for red (blood cancer) or lime (lymphoma) bracelets, check these out.

Latent Effects of Chemo

I'm posting this here not to affect anyone's treatment decisions but because aftercare is an important part of treatment. I think it's important that we as patients not be forgotten after remission is achieved.

And last but not least

How To Bump A Thread
Method for 'bumping' a thread WITHOUT adding an entry is to:

1) add anything, ie a word or two as a "REPLY"

2) hit enter

3) Go back to your 'reply' and pick "edit" -- delete the post that you just added. There is a box at the bottom that actually says, "DELETE THIS POST". Then it asks you to confirm that you really want to delete it.

When finished, the thread magically goes to the top of the 'current threads' list -- and it does so without an additional 'entry'.

And for posterity a link to our old Welcome Wagon thread. Where this all began.

Adding a link to Restoration - the thread where people express in verse or whatever way they prefer their journeys through NHL and life.

I guess I had to type something here in order to bump it up. It wouldn't let me delete this post.

bumping to the top for Sarah

Does anyone know of a way to delete a bump without moving the bumped post back to where it was??

Hmmm...I tried but when you delete your own post, the thread stays where it was. I don't think you can edit out your words either, but I'll try that...

[gracie82159]

Moving this up to the top since we seem to have quite a few new people recently...it may need to be revised again because some of the information in it no longer applies to the board in this new format. If no one else revises, I will work on it in the next week or two...
