Jana, hi – did you find out about getting notifications of new anal cancer fighters? Take a look at “my dashboard” in the upper right hand corner of your profile page. On the “dashboard” page, at the bottom left, is your account info. One of the options is “email preferences.” Click on that and you can check what kind of notices you want to get, including notifications of new users.

Cheers!
