Online Cancer Chat with a Safety Net
Cancer Research UK has launched an online chat forum for cancer patients to swap stories and share experiences on how to cope with such a devastating disease.
This means that a Cancer Research UK team will keep a watching brief to ensure that patients are not subjected to rogue cancer cures or scientifically unsound information.
And Rebekah Gibbs, cancer patient and star of TVs Casualty has pledged her support for the new project. I think Cancer Chat is a brilliant idea, she said. I have written a public diary about what I went through with breast cancer and I have had such a heart-warming response from other people going through the same thing.
Cancer Chat will also encourage its users to check out any cancer questions on its CancerHelp UK website which is specially designed to give patients and their families 6,000 pages of up-to-date information that is easy to understand and explains a wide range of treatments for different types of cancer and gives details of clinical trials. There is also a UK database of cancer clinical trials.
For those who do not have access to computers and have questions about cancer, the charitys team of cancer information nurses are available during office hours to talk over patients concerns on the phone.
