My Lifeline: free website and resource

This is information about a terrific new website for cancer patients. There are several other sites that provide similar services, but this one seems to be a particularly good way to organize information, keep track of medical appointments, and share news with family and friends. Here is the introduction from www.mylifeline.org
In 1997, at the age of 27, I was diagnosed with Stage IIIc ovarian cancer. One of the most exhausting things for me was keeping my friends and family updated on my progress during treatment. Concerned friends and family wanted to help, so they left messages to see what they could do. I could never keep up with answering phone calls, individual emails, or organizing the help requests. So a regrettable memory from my cancer experience was feeling out of control in the communications area.
There's a better way now. With the widespread use of the internet, you can reach almost everyone by creating a website. I am a big believer that if you harness the power of your own personal community, this support will carry you like a wave up and over the difficult diagnosis, the treatment process, and beyond.
Through my own experiences with cancer, I realize the importance for cancer patients and their caregivers to have an easy way to communicate with friends and family. MyLifeLine.org strives to give you the tools necessary for connection, inspiration, and healing.
Please consider setting up and using a free MyLifeLine.org website as close to diagnosis as possible. I think this will enhance your cancer experience and really be something you look back on as one of the best things you did to start the healing journey.
