Very disappointing
This app doesn’t give you any benefits bc it doesn’t work. I constantly get emails about new posts but when I click on the emails I can see a thing. I’ve downloaded the app on a iPhone and Samsung phone. It’s definitely the app, what’s worse I can’t even get into the email setting to disable the annoying messages that lead me the new posts that never load or just time out. Please do better, from prior reviews it seemed to be a great asset for prior patients. And I’d like the same opportunity
Not workable
I have been very very very frustrated this app does not work if you make a comment you cannot find it why don’t they have a search button to find your freaking comment!!! They send you a notification in your email that someone has viewed your post or commented on your post and when you try to go to it it doesn’t go very frustrating very very frustrating I think it’s giving me cancer
App crashes
Cant open. Have reloaded 3 times. Unfortunate cuz it looks helpful.
Trusting
I have learned so much about breast cancer from this sight. Needing to have surgery very soon, I feel comfortable and easy about it.
Great app
Great app and advice from experts. Love the diagnostic tools.
Good
Full of helpful info, I like the wizard
Resources at your fingertips
As an oncology nurse navigator specializing in breast cancer, I can attest to the importance of shared decision making. Many patients are either unaware or not informed of all treatment and surgical options. This can create the feeling of being overwhelmed and having unnecessary pressure to make a decision without knowing the facts. That being said, this proves there was a definite need to organize all of the resources and information and that’s what the breast advocate app does. The breast advocate app is a wonderful tool for patients, navigators and treating physicians. Treatment options are personalized and reviewed through a quick and easy questionnaire. Patients are also able to connect with others at various stages of treatment and survivorship, creating a virtual support group at your fingertips. The resources available are informative, concise and fact based. I’ve referred several patients to the app and have used the app myself to obtain more information about a unique patient diagnosis. I highly recommend all breast cancer patients, navigators and treating physicians download and use this app!
