Experts warn a lot of the information patients encounter online could do much more harm than good
Just because a post has a lot of views or likes, doesn’t mean the information it contains is accurate. In fact, the opposite may be true.
The internet is full of posts and sites designed to sell supplements or other products that supposedly treat or prevent cancer. In that case, a patient may spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars on unproven, often useless products, but there are other, more serious risks to following bad information online.
To get the most current and accurate information pertaining to your unique diagnosis, you should turn first and often to the medical professionals on your cancer care team.
