I'm pleased that a new free website for people touched by cancer has officially been launched today. And I'm equally proud that I am a contributor among this network of individuals.
Navigatingcancer.com is a place where former and current cancer patients can share experiences, join groups and discussions, and, if so desired, can keep their loved ones up to date on how they are doing.
This site also allows patients to confidentially organize their appointments, treatment regimens, and current moods through its organizer's Daily Health Tracker. Patients can invite loved ones to check their current physical and emotional status.
The tagline of the site is, "Empowering Your Journey." As an advocate who tries to help others navigate through the medical-system maze, I am impressed with how this site helps empower patients.
The website is below, or just click on the Navigating Cancer badge.
