By Jaclyn Hurley


One of the chronic illnesses that is becoming a hazard in the world today is cancer. It is affecting different parts of the body and has various stages. The people who suffer the disease and those who have a patient suffering of this disease go through a hard time dealing and coming in to terms with it. This is why cancer social network is formed to offer support for this people

It is through these networks that people with the same conditions connect and get to know each other. They get to know of the type of cancer a person is going through and the stage it is in. They even open up about the treatment process they are undergoing or the ones that have already gone through the treatment get to share about the experiences. This kind of connection enable patients gets some strength to face their status with courage.

The participants of this network whether the affected or infected are able to share about how they manage the illness in terms of diet and the place they get their professional help from. This gives them a wide source of ideas on how to manage the condition with the information they get through sharing. One can also get a referral on which physician to see if they are about to start the treatment.

Some social networks include professionals who may not be having the same condition but are meant to offer advice on how well to take care of the condition. The professionals can be nutritionists because this kind of condition requires a proper diet and other professionals who will help the patients like psychiatrists.This gives the people more knowledge on management.

Most of the people who have joined these networks can witness that there is a courage that they gain through this groups. This is based on the courage to go for therapies which most people lack due to fear of the side effects associated with them. Going for such therapies for the first time can cause anxiety. Through hearing how other people manage the therapies will help a patient gain the courage to attend them to the end.

When one gets such encouragements and correct information about the treatment, the patients are able to embrace the treatment. This is in terms of taking medication and handling the side effects that come with most of the treatments. If the people experience the side effects for the first time they will not get scared or feel like things are getting worse. This is because they will have heard about what other people have gone through.

With all the experiences shared in the social network, a person is able to deal with the condition with hope and less fear. This eliminates other conditions that may arise from fear like depression and stress. If a person is facing a certain fear or a new experience with the condition, they are able to share through the network and know the way forward. It removes the fear of one attempting suicide due to hopelessness.

Loneliness is one thing that can cause depression and hopelessness in life. This is especially for cancer patients or people who have cancer patients. Social networks for these patients become very useful in bringing hope peace and love to the people.
