Today, a dramatically different, public service online &
social resource was launched for those facing cancer: The QN2A Project
("Questions Into Answers.")
With partners Stand Up 2 Cancer and Cancer Treatment Centers
of America, and featuring James Denton of "Desperate Housewives"
fame, the QN2A Project (www.qn2a.org) was created to offer patients and
caregivers the "Big Questions" to ask their healthcare professional
in order to accelerate and improve the best therapy for them.
The web is full of answers and advice, but we believed
that
- in the heat of the moment, people don't know the most helpful questions to ask their healthcare professional, and
- everyone's journey is unique, so by offering the questions, versus the answers, they could get the personalized answers they truly need.
People can go to qn2a.org to get, share, and print the
"Top Ten" questions for both patients and caregivers, vote on new
ones, and, the most important feature-- those who have faced that moment can
share the question(s) that helped them the most.
The campaign for The QN2A Project features a print ad which
will run in major magazines (that, using mobius's optical recognition software,
you can take a photo of and text to see a special video,) the website, mobile, social
sites (facebook, twitter, google+,) banner ads, and a video with James Denton
(that will be featured on "Access Hollywood"!) You can't miss it.
The goal is to make this a "Top Five" Online
Resource for those dealing with cancer, so that more lives can get the best
treatment possible.
To do that, we need your help. If you, or a loved one or
friend, are facing cancer or have faced cancer, please share the word about
qn2a.org (personally posting to your facebook page, tweeting, emailing, etc.),
so that they can get questions from others that have helped, or leave
questions to give others a potential new chance.
This campaign will continue to evolve as it grows, giving us
even more chances to innovate.
With your help, it can become a crucial, life-changing,
ongoing resource.

Mark,
This is great. Since I actively work in the cancer patient/caregiver space in Southern California, I see such a need for this type of tool.
In fact every November we honor the often "forgotten and neglected" ones in the cancer experience, the caregiver. Our Make the Hope Happen fund raising initiative hosts a Celebration of Hope reception at UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center where we honor our extraordinary caregiver(s) of the year. Thanks for sharing. Linda Holland
