Navigating Cancer announced today the public beta launch of its new,
free website specifically for cancer patients, www.navigatingcancer.com.
Navigating Cancer provides essential cancer-related information from
authoritative sources to help patients learn about their options once
diagnosed, and tools for patients to partner with their physicians,
allowing them to be more in control of their cancer treatment and care.
Navigating Cancer also provides a forum for patients to connect with
other cancer patients to learn and share from their experiences, ask for
help when needed and keep loved ones updated on their journey.
“With Navigating Cancer, I’m able to organize my complete health record
for my journey with stomach cancer. My treatments and medications are
organized in one place and the Daily Health Tracker is a good way for me
to stay diligent in monitoring myself on my road to recovery”
“In the next 12 months, over 1.4 million people will be diagnosed with
cancer in the United States alone. In fact, the odds of someone being
diagnosed with cancer at some point in their life are a staggering 45%,”
said Gena Cook, co-founder and chief executive officer of Navigating
Cancer. “Unlike other health sites, with Navigating Cancer, patients are
armed with cancer specific information, resources and tools needed to
make better, more informed decisions, partner with their physicians to
manage better care, and stay connected with their support network during
their journey.”
