Surgeons seem bored with the aftermath of your operation. Oncologists tend to gloss over side effects. After all, it’s their job to save your life – not your lifestyle.

Scars that won’t fade? Debilitating hot flashes? The realization that your hair will never be as thick and shiny as it once was?

Let someone else worry about that.

Well, that someone else is a fellow survivor – and she’s usually someone you connect with online.

Someone with whom you end up sharing the most intimate details of your life – anonymously, without a co-pay, and on YOUR schedule, not the doctor’s.

“They’re not going to get that from the computer,” Dr. Levin?

You bet we are. Every day. Millions of us.

We’re called empowered patients, and we’re the new reality. Hear us. Deal with us.

Or eventually, we’ll stop dealing with you.
