Patients are increasingly turning to online communities for information, comfort and advice.

NSMC provides the following links as a convenience for our patients, but does not endorse the views and information expressed by the patients and physicians on these sites.

• In some online communities patients share advice and insight into particular issues, such as insurance reimbursement, and also offer comfort.

http://dailystrength.org/, www.patients like me.com and http://acor.org/ [Association of Cancer Online Resources]

• Other patient communities provide resources that have been reviewed and graded by physicians for accuracy.

• In another type of online community physicians and patients collaborate on creating documentation about a particular condition and its treatment.
