The LIVESTRONG Cancer Guide & Tracker App

By Shelly Crossland

There is no denying that we live in a technology-dominated world. From iPhones to iPads, information has never been easier to access. At LIVESTRONG, we strive to give you the tools you need to navigate your cancer journey, which is why we have created our very own iPad app, inspired by the听LIVESTRONG听骋耻颈诲别产辞辞办.

For years, the guidebook has been helping people navigate the cancer journey by providing essential tools and answering pressing questions. The two-volume book contains helpful information and journal spaces for survivors to address any physical, emotional and practical concerns. It covers everything from understanding insurance and financial issues to finding hope during this difficult time.

For many cancer patients, our guidebook has been a great source of comfort. Cancer survivor Gayla Rhodes was not sure what LIVESTRONG听could do for her when she was first diagnosed, but knew she needed guidance and support. After ordering the guidebook, she found that some weight was lifted off her shoulders. 鈥淭hose notebooks told me how to get from point A to B. They made my head spin much less and I kept them near for reference.鈥 (Read Gayla鈥檚 full story听).

In 2011 we decided it was time to adapt to the world of technology, creating the free听Cancer Guide and Tracker app听for iPads.听
