New tool for colon cancer patients

Author(s):

The Colorectal Cancer Coalition has had a name change; they are now Fight Colorectal Cancer. In an effort to step things up, they have not only changed their name but refreshed the look of their website and updated their mission statement:Fight Colorectal Cancer demands a cure for colon and rectal cancer. We educate and support patients and caregivers, push for changes in policy that will increase and improve research, and empower survivors to raise their voices against the status quo.They've also joined with Gemonic Health Inc. to offer the My Colon Cancer Coach site. With the site, you can learn the basics about colon cancer, answer some survey questions to get a personalized report and print out questions to take with you and ask your doctor. The My Colon Cancer Coach site joins a similar offering called My Breast Cancer Coach.
