Patients talk about their experiences on new website.(www.dipex.org)(breast cancer)(Brief Article)
2002 APR 18 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Patients who have been newly diagnosed with breast cancer now have access to the experiences of other people living with the disease via the multimedia website DIPEx (Database of Individual Patient Experiences), a resource of patient interviews in written form, audio and video clips. The DIPEx web site includes a new module on breast cancer, in addition to hypertension and prostate cancer.
The aim of the new module is to prepare those diagnosed with breast cancer for the decisions they must make about their future treatment, and to give support to those living with the disease through sharing the experiences of others.
One man and 45 women, including the writer and broadcaster Claire Rayner, who have all experienced breast cancer, talk about what happened at each stage of their illness. The interviews cover the full range of experiences including the impact of the illness on their own daily life and that of their family and friends, as well as their treatment choices and the effects these had. The interviews can be watched as video clips, listened to or read on the web site. The site also offers full and reliable information on the illness itself, answers commonly asked questions and has links to support groups and agencies.
