AnCan now serves more communities than just cancer, and certainly a lot more than the community with which we started – prostate cancer. That said, we are delighted this week to have just expanded to include blood cancers and ovarian cancer.
Our vision was always to reach out to conditions that compromised mobility, so starting our Multiple Sclerosis group last Fall was a milestone. Personally, I know little about MS but am learning slowly especially from lurking in the MS Virtual Group as we train the moderators – although their success may make that redundant very soon!
This article on Medpage Today caight my eye …..it points out that compromised cognition is one of the first signs of MS. It also mentions that disease progression is observed as more rapid in non-caucasian ethnic groups.
AnCan encourages our MS readership to sign up to our blog and submit posts to help educate us all!
