This Psycho-oncology Page is still under construction. Actually, we hope to remain permanently constructive - as well as instructive, interesting, and mutually helpful on an ongoing and reciprocal basis.

Initially this page was conceived as something mostly for newcomers to our GSI website. However, and relatively speaking, we are all newcomers to GIST, or were not so long ago. Most of us - including our much appreciated and highly esteemed experts - are also newcomers in the sense that GIST itself is still quite new. Accordingly, all of us have much to learn together about this recently identified sarcoma, its further treatment prospects, and the ways that GIST affects our emotions, behavior, and human experiences - its so-called psycho-oncology.
