Fighting Cancer Network 0.0.19

This version of the Fighting Cancer Network App focuses on Breast Cancer and Prostate Cancer, with plans to include additional cancer types in the future. The app aims to empower cancer patients, caregivers, and individuals seeking to comprehend a diagnosis and treatment possibilities through concise, expertly created videos. These videos are tailored to each user’s specific cancer based on responses to a brief questionnaire. In addition, the app features practical tools like a NOTES section for jotting down questions for healthcare providers, a Journal named "My Story" for sharing experiences with friends and family, a comprehensive Glossary explaining medical terms, and medication reminders.

Equipped with knowledge, patients are better equipped to navigate treatment decisions, engage in discussions with their healthcare team, and gain familiarity with the diagnostic procedures, systemic treatments, and radiation therapies relevant to their cancer journey.

The NOTES functionality serves as a convenient way to document queries for medical professionals or essential details to discuss with loved ones.

The My Story function offers users the chance to maintain a journal of their cancer voyage. Entries can be kept private or shared with selected family members and friends to facilitate communication with concerned individuals.

The Glossary section furnishes detailed explanations of terminology commonly encountered during the cancer journey. A clear understanding of complex or unfamiliar terms enhances users’ ability to grasp crucial information provided in the video repository.
