Can you provide a resource web address where I can check out potential help regarding a diagnosis of cancer.

The National Cancer Institute is a service that provides resources based on specific types of cancer and how the cancer is treated; research to support the treatment and assistance in finding doctors to fit the patient's need.  Their web address is: www.cancer.gov.
