User reviews

Crashing!

I want to create a profile but it won’t let me - I definitely see this as a helpful tool on my journey, but.... argh!

Needs a great deal of work

Stage 4 CLL patient, 3 years of treatment, currently in remission.

This app needs a lot of work to resonate with the broader cancer community. It’s slow, poorly designed, missing key things that cancer patients need.

PM me offline, happy to give guidance.

Note, I have a BSc, MSc & PhD in computer science, I led/worked with teams who designed & developed clinical applications (at IBM)

A tool I wish existed when I was diagnosed

I can't say enough about this App and this company. There are many cancer resources available across the Internet and in local support groups, but CancerAid is special. It provides a full range of information resources and very well written experience stories by cancer community members. There is so much great information and inspiration in these stories for cancer survivors and their caregivers. But one of my very favorite features is the ability to add "champions" to your account. Champions are your support team. Once they join your account, they will be able to see the symptoms you log. If you are tired or nauseous, they'll see it. There won't be any need for the always awkward "how are you feeling today?" question. They'll know how you feel and what they can do to support you. Many cancer survivors are reluctant to share these details in direct conversation. CancerAid makes communication so much easier and more effective. If you are a cancer survivor or a cancer survivor care giver, you really should give this App a try and see if it works for you. I would have loved to have this app when I was diagonosed with prostate cancer 15 years ago.

CancerAid is a must for anyone dealing with cancer!

This app is truly incredible and is changing the face of cancer. To have the ability to read inspirational articles, journal and track how patients are feeling both emotionally and physically all while keeping patients and the caregivers connected is a blessing.

Great App! So helpful!

This is such a great app! I love that I can stay up to date about cancer research and reading about others experience. It also makes it so easy for me to stay organize and my husband can be part of the process
