Patients tell their stories on web site

When a person receives a frightening diagnosis it can be informative and comforting to hear the experiences of other patients. Here’s a British web site devoted to collecting personal experiences of illness from ordinary people.

Using Real Player, you can see and hear people talking about their experiences with hypertension, prostate cancer, breast cancer (including a male patient), colorectal cancer, testicular cancer, cervical cancer, epilepsy and congenital heart disease.

I found out about this site from Informed Health Online’s "Web Site of the Week."
