If you are new to reading
ESUN,
it is worth mentioning that each of the words or phrases that are underlined and
in a bold blue type are hyperlinks
to websites, documents or other online material. Also, many of the articles contain
sidebars with two differently colored borders, one in red and one in
blue.
Sidebars that
appear in boxes with red borders
are directed towards doctors and other
members of the medical team. However, patients and caregivers may find some of them informative.

 ESUN
was launched in February
2004 to help achieve some of the goals of
the
Liddy Shriver Sarcoma Initiative. It is published in
the spirit of the Liddy Shriver Sarcoma Initiative
logo which represents patients, their
caregivers and loved ones, and the medical team working
together to improve the quality of life for those who have
sarcoma. The breaks in the links and in-between them are
meant to remind us of the difficulties that often occur in
communicating with each other. The Forget-Me-Not touches
each link and represents the many people who have touched
the lives of the patients, the caregivers, and the
physicians in their journeys with sarcoma. The background
consists of the small round blue cells that identify Ewing’s
sarcoma, which is the sarcoma Liddy had.
We encourage you to read about her story of courage and hope
by clicking on the
Liddy’s Story button above. We hope that the articles and the other information and data that appear in ESUN will empower
cancer patients, their caregivers and their loved ones by helping them
understand and discuss treatment options with their medical team and to aid
them in dealing with this disease.
