The
idea of people with cancer gaining information and support
from as many different perspectives as possible is very
appealing. Learning about complementary and alternative
approaches is a necessity at this time in medicine/health.
John
Davidson has set up a terrific web site for people with
cancer because of his own personal experiences. Coming
to Self-Help Cancer will be beneficial for anyone facing
this challenge.
I
am actively working to do just what John does –
to give information to people in a format they can easily
understand –
and as evidence-based as possible.
This
site will truly help you. Make sure you look at lots
of pages, seek answers, do not give up.
Some
day, medical staff will integrate every resource into
their message –
allowing people with cancer the opportunity to make
the best, most informed, decision possible. We all hope
that day arrives very soon.

Ann Fonfa is a breast cancer patient, who founded the
Annie
Appleseed Project, a cancer help organization providing
information, education and advocacy from the patient
perspective for people with cancer, as well as their
family and friends. Their special area of expertise
is complementary and alternative (CAM) natural therapies.
Their website is extensive and covers a large variety
of topics with many links. They support evidence-based
healthcare, and see a need for more focused research
on what works for people, rather than profits. |
