Online Support for those with Cervical Cancer

January 14th, 2010 by tanya Leave a reply »

imgEThe Internet is an increasingly important social forum, providing patients with valuable information and support about their health. So when dealing with cancer, joining an online cancer support group can be one of the best ways to help heal. Not only does the online support group provide a place to exchange information about side effects, resources and what’s happening in clinical trials, support groups on the internet can counteract the social isolation that sometimes follows cancer.

Studies have shown that talking to others who understand or have been through your situation can not only make you feel less upset, fearful or anxious, but it can also help you focus on your health and treatment. In addition, it has also been shown that cancer patients who attend cancer support groups survive longer than just receiving medical treatment alone.
