CancerOption.com Initiates Interactive Community with the Rollout of the
Company's Chat Rooms and Message Boards
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 22, 1999--
President and CEO, Arnold Takemoto, to Host First Online Forum
CancerOption.com Inc. (Symbol: CAOP) Friday announced the rollout of the
company's interactive community with chat rooms and message boards for its
visitors to discuss and share their experiences in an open forum.
The company understands the importance of establishing an arena where
individuals can communicate with others in the privacy and comfort of their
own home or office about the delicate nature of cancer. Furthermore,
CancerOption.com recognizes the need and demand of providing an open
discussion with physicians and experts in the health care field.
Statistics show an increasing number of Americans are using the Internet to
help satisfy health concerns: 24.8 million adults in 1999, a 45% jump over
last year, according to Cyber Dialogue. However, Cyber Dialogue's recently
released Cybercitizen Health research points out, there has not been a
corresponding development of web sites by physicians.
CancerOption.com's community will offer physicians a forum to communicate not
only with their patients but other individuals who seek the advice of a
medical professional.
CancerOption.com President and Chief Executive Officer, Arnold Takemoto, will
be hosting the first online event, Wednesday, Oct. 27, 1999, at 3 p.m. EST,
and stated, "The chat rooms and message boards, as well as the availability
to chat with health care practitioners online is extremely valuable for
people stricken with cancer or other health ailments.
"Family members will also benefit from this interactive community by being
able to receive advice and support from others within this open summit."
Individuals coping with cancer, along with cancer survivors, family members
and visitors will have the opportunity to chat live online with Takemoto and
ask questions about their unique situations.
