Online Cancer Chat with a Safety Net

Cancer Research UK has launched an online chat forum for cancer patients to swap stories and share experiences on how to cope with such a devastating disease.

But Cancer Chat is a forum with a difference:it has an information safety net.

This means that a Cancer Research UK team will keep a watching brief to ensure that patients are not subjected to rogue "cancer cures" or scientifically unsound information.

Anyone can have access to the messages posted on Cancer Chat but if people wish to post a message they will need to register.

And Rebekah Gibbs，cancer patient and star of TV's Casualty has pledged her support for the new project."I think Cancer Chat is a brilliant idea，" she said."I have written a public diary about what I went through with breast cancer and I have had such a heart-warming response from other people going through the same thing.

"The idea of a Cancer Chat forum means you can share information about treatment and side effects and you can really open up about your feelings online in a way that can be difficult when talking to close friends and family.And with Cancer Research UK monitoring the forum people can be reassured about the quality of information being exchanged."

Cancer Chat will also encourage its users to check out any cancer questions on its CancerHelp UK website which is specially designed to give patients and their families 6，000 pages of up-to-date information that is easy to understand and explains a wide range of treatments for different types of cancer and gives details of clinical trials.There is also a UK database of cancer clinical trials.

The award-winning website attracts around one million visitors a month and Cancer Research UK hopes that some of these visitors will also want to post comments on the Cancer Chat forum.

For those who do not have access to computers and have questions about cancer,the charity's team of cancer information nurses are available during office hours to talk over patients’ concerns on the phone.

第三篇： 安全網(wǎng)站暢談抗癌心得

英國(guó)癌癥研究中心在網(wǎng)絡(luò)上創(chuàng)立了一個(gè)供癌癥病人交流病情，暢談對(duì)抗這種致命疾病心得的論壇。

但"癌癥暢談"這個(gè)論壇有一個(gè)不同點(diǎn)就是它的信息是絕對(duì)安全的。

這意味著英國(guó)癌癥研究中心的研究人員會(huì)嚴(yán)格把關(guān)，事先瀏覽網(wǎng)絡(luò)內(nèi)容，以防病人們受到不良致癌方法或不確切信息的誤導(dǎo)。

所有人都可以共享發(fā)布在論壇上的信息，但如果有人要發(fā)布信息必須事先注冊(cè)。

癌癥患者，“電視隨談”欄目的著名主持人 Rebbeca Gibbon 對(duì)論壇的創(chuàng)立極為贊同，我認(rèn)為論壇是一個(gè)很好的舉措，我在上面公開(kāi)發(fā)表了我的日記，記錄了我對(duì)抗乳腺癌過(guò)程中的種種遭遇，隨后我受到那些同命相連者溫馨的回應(yīng)。在論壇上你可以分享治療，副作用方面的信息，還可以在論壇上暢談感受，這是與密友和家人交流時(shí)很難做到的。同時(shí)研究中心的掌控可以確保發(fā)布的交流信息的真實(shí)有效。

論壇也鼓勵(lì)人們到“癌癥求助”這個(gè)網(wǎng)站上去查詢?nèi)魏伟┌Y問(wèn)題，這個(gè)網(wǎng)站旨在為病人和家屬提供6,000多頁(yè)最新信息，這些信息非常易懂，針對(duì)癌癥的不同類型提供了大量治療方法和診斷細(xì)節(jié)，那還有一個(gè)癌癥診斷數(shù)據(jù)庫(kù)。

這個(gè)獲獎(jiǎng)的網(wǎng)站每月吸引了超過(guò)一百萬(wàn)的訪問(wèn)者，研究中心希望其中的一些訪問(wèn)者也能向論壇發(fā)布評(píng)論信息。

對(duì)于那些沒(méi)有電腦同時(shí)又對(duì)癌癥有問(wèn)題的人，志愿者服務(wù)的護(hù)士將在上班時(shí)間通過(guò)電話的方式為他們提供咨詢。
