(HealthNewsDigest.com) – IHadCancer.com is the first comprehensive social networking site that harnesses the power of social media to connect cancer patients, survivors and supporters. (The Facebook of Cancer)
Countless websites are devoted to cancer education, research, treatment and advocacy – as well as to specific types of the disease. Until now, however, there has not been a comprehensive social networking site with the sole mission of building a community among cancer patients, survivors and their supporters. Such a site will fill a real void, if you follow the findings of a study by Pew Research Center that shows while people turn to professionals for an accurate diagnosis and treatment options, they are significantly more likely to seek out non-professionals when they’re searching for emotional support.
IHadCancer.com is the brainchild of Mailet Lopez, a 36-year old cancer survivor who found herself both overwhelmed and alone while battling the disease, despite the support of family and friends. Mailet, who fled Cuba with her family in the 1980s and co-founded a digital media agency on the heels of 9/11, put her digital media expertise to work to create a site that would help people connect with others in their shoes.
