Review for AnCan Foundation, Tumacacori, AZ, USA
I am fortunate to have learned about the virtual peer-to-peer support group in the last year of a journey navigating through the trials and tribulations of advanced prostate cancer. The opportunity to share the journey with others experiencing similar medical problems and decisions has been invaluable. The medical research system is developing excellent new treatments for fighting cancer, and the moderators and participants of AnCan helped me to be an advocate for myself in the complicated and confusing world of modern healthcare. The group has helped me learn through shared experience and provides emotional support to maintain strength and hope in the fight against cancer. I am happy to express my deep appreciation for AnCan’s help in asking questions and questioning answers. AnCan has created a mental and emotional structure for me to work with my medical team to ensure that the best care and information is available to help make treatment decisions. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
Philly13, As science fiction author Spider Robinson observes, "Shared pain is lessened and shared joy is increased." We are glad to hear you were helped by AnCan and your post embodies this sentiment. The AnCan "team" is not just our staff and moderators. It is each and every member that calls in to share and thereby helps not only themselves, but the others as well. Thank you.
