Patients and advocates also benefit from networking opportunities to support each other, share experiences, and advocate for better cancer care:
1. Support Groups: Local and online support groups provide a space for patients to share their experiences and advice. 2. Advocacy Organizations: Joining organizations like the American Cancer Society (ACS) or Cancer Research UK can offer opportunities to participate in advocacy efforts, educational programs, and fundraising events. 3. Social Media: Platforms like Facebook and Twitter can be useful for connecting with other patients and advocates, sharing personal stories, and staying informed about the latest in cancer care.
