Forums

Forums for development

As a person affected by cancer you are a specialist in yourself and the needs you have. You also have the “traveller’s” perspective and thus a unique competence for what can improve the journey that those affected by cancer must undertake.

It really should be you who tell healthcare and society how things should be and function. At the same time, it is our experience that this is rarely the case, and that this competence is not properly harnessed within research, healthcare development and societal planning.

Together we can change that!

SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS AND IDEAS

This is how it works

In our forums you can discuss with us and other people affected by cancer how together we can make the cancer journey more easily navigated. As forums open, threads and topics are created, you will be given the opportunity to share your thoughts and ideas. Eventually, we will extract ideas for projects that we will then be able to gather around and push forward together.

It’s easy to get started, as the only thing needed is you to log in with any of your social media accounts, such as Facebook.

Firstly, we can meet in a forum for “The involuntary traveller” where the following topics are there from the start:

  1. The guidebook – good & bad: Help us in the continuing development with your feedback on the book’s structure, content and usability.
  2. Development ideas: How can we move forward with the guidebook? Can we make an app version for smartphones? Do we need additional tools?
