Circle of
Sharing from
ACS
The American Cancer Society has launched a
new tool for people with cancer, survivors and thier loved

Circle of Sharing is a web site for patients.
They get health information and share their information with family and friends in
their own secured Circle of Sharing. "Patients can organize and
access critical details about their diagnosis, medications, other treatments,
and side effects all in one secure location, making it easier to keep track of
this information and share it with healthcare providers as they move through the
different phases of their treatment," a release from the ACS states. If you have
concerns about what happens to your information, read the FAQs
before signing up. Consumers can learn more about the Circle Of Sharing
tool and create accounts at www.cancer.org/circleofsharing
