Longitude Health Unveils Second Video on Overcoming Cancer Thu, Dec 18 2008
Guided Health and Wellness Website Inspires Cancer Survivors and Invites Public Participation
Somerset, NJ – December 18, 2008 – Longitude Health, Inc., www.longitudehealth.com provider of web-based, guided health and wellness solutions for mid-size, self insured companies, today announced part-two of its video series titled, Overcoming Cancer . The inspirational, mini documentary chronicles breast cancer survivor Jackie O’Rouke’s daily struggles living with cancer and is provided as a free health resource on MyHealthVillage.com – an online health and wellness portal owned and operated by Longitude Health.
The National Cancer Institute estimates that in January 2004 approximately 2.4 million women were living with breast cancer. Most of these women were cancer-free, while others with evidence of cancer, were undergoing treatment.
Dr. Jan Swaney co-founder of MyHealthVillage.com underscores the invaluable resource these videos provide, “Internet searches are one of the primary steps cancer victims take to gather all relevant information soon after being diagnosed. Finding and connecting with other individuals living with similar illnesses has proven to dramatically improve the healing process.”
The second video highlights O’Rouke’s dramatic changing perspective on life – no longer taking “things for granted.” .She strongly recommends keeping a daily “journal as the safe place” where thoughts and fears can be expressed and stresses the importance of family support and the enriching factors of surviving cancer.
