CancerAid

Can't recommend this app. Had regular issues making entries and saving them. Would not work accross ipad & iphone. Lost several weeks of symptom and journal entries.

This is a great app, but it looks like we can’t add symptoms ahead of time or diarise appointments ahead of time? Also, as a close friend of someone who has cancer, they are listed as one of my heroes in this app. I find it strange that I don’t get notified when my hero adds something, my hero has also noticed that they can’t add symptoms ahead of time. This is a great app, but without these two things, it’s somewhat cumbersome to use.

We are 6 months into a cancer journey and have just found out about this app. I’m trying to set up the app and input past data into it so that we can look at it historically. One of the issues we have is JOURNAL ENTRIES obviously we need to back date in order to make this feature useful in a historical nature. ISSUE: You can only create a journal entry on the current date. Does not let you back date entries. PROPOSED SOLUTION: ‘Enable Date Picker’ for journal entries past, current and future. BENEFITS: Ability to back date journal entries especially if your a new user and you X Days/Months into the journey. Enable the customer to create a historical view as they may not start using this app on day 1. Please add this feature as soon as possible, without it I’m not sure this app is right for us.

My sister was diagnosed with Breast Cancer and lives in North Queensland. She had her surgery at Chris O’Brien LIfehouse as I live in Sydney. As her champion, this app enables me to see her daily symptoms which is very helpful. We speak everyday by phone or text however I was probably only hearing half of her symptoms. This is also a great tool for Dr’s appointments as you often forget important information. The Survivorship stories are invaluable as they validate your own thoughts and emotions. Thank you so much for your proactive approach to help manage our journey and in the process give us a better quality of life. Highly Recommended.

I love the journal component! I’m a big fan of being able to ‘get it out’, whatever that may be. Having a dedicated space to dump all your thoughts frees up space in your brain and heart for more useful, productive things!

Being in the recruitment industry, I recruit a lot of medical staff for Cancer care providers. This is the BEST app I have seen for helping lighten the load on patients and their families during a time that is so stressful that remembering to buy milk is a challenge! Let alone trying to remember everything about your treatment. I can’t recommend this APP enough.

Can’t even see specialists in my area, way better to do a google search. Don’t bother downloading. Waste

Very easy to use, love the articles too! Really helps

I am 4 years cancer free Double mastectomy chemotherapy radiation hysterectomy and left with horrendous nerve pain that has crippled me and basically knocked the wind out of me As a paitent I never found any cancer group helpful The whole time I found concentrating on distracting myself with keeping busy and go as more in deep breathing meditation and yoga deep water running and hydrotherapy Being treated also by a physiotherapist I also fostered rescue dogs to help me get out of bed and not cry all day in pain All you want to do is what works the best for you which is taking care of your pain and joints I found getting involved in cancer groups or getting dressed in pink to do fun runs for charity is just time taken away from rehabilitation Your whole world is getting back to being strong

As a doctor, I know that the journey from cancer diagnosis to treatment is a complex one, and I find that this app has a useful place helping people through that journey. It has lots of useful, relevant and easy to understand information. Highly recommended
