You’re Invited! We hope you’ll join us for our next Empowered #patientchat discussion with The Patient Story on the best practices for sharing your patient story.

The Patient Story is a community of cancer patient and caregiver voices with one goal: humanize every diagnosis. They interview recent survivors and put their stories up in FAQ-format with treatment timelines to help newly-diagnosed patients and caregivers better understand what they may be dealing with during and after treatment. Join us at ThePatientStory.com.

T1: Why do you think it is important to share your patient story? #patientchat
