IMPORTANT: Material posted on the Internet is freely accessible to others through Search Engines. It is becoming a frequent practice to 'google' for personal information and you should be aware of this when posting. If this is of concern, you may wish to conceal your name by using a pseudonym or using an initial for your last name instead of your full name. If you do use a pseudonym, please use your imagination - we don't want a dozen John Does or Joe Bloggs on the site! If you have sent in your story previously and want to change your name, please mail Terry giving your current name and new name.

DETAILS OF YOUR STORY: You are welcome to tell your story anyway you wish to, but you may be interested to know that feedback from a poll has showed that the two areas of maximum interest to visitors to the site are: 1. The reason for choosing the particular treatment you chose or are thinking of choosing. 2. If some time has passed since your diagnosis, the long term effects of the chosen treatment There is less interest in how the treatment was carried out or the short term effects of the treatment.

UPDATES TO EXISTING STORIES: If you have already filled in this form but want to update your story, PLEASE GO HERE FOR THE UPDATE FORM

PICTURES: Some contributors have asked if they can put their pictures on the site - if you want the world to see what you look like, you can send me a pic attached to an e-mail. Just a couple of points: 1. Many people are concerned about privacy issues so be aware your picture could be downloaded off the site. If you are including anyone other than yourself in your picture, please make sure that they are happy with that. 2. Please identify yourself clearly, if and when you send in your shot, by the name you use for your experience story.

JOIN US: Filling out the form below and hitting the SEND tab will send the information directly to me. You may find it easy to use your TAB key to move through the fields. Your story will be posted to the site as soon as possible - there are sometimes unavoidable delays since I am a one man band. There are also sometimes problems between my ISP and yours, so if you haven't seen your story appear within 72 hours, please mail me. Thank you for joining us - remember:
