Episode Synopsis

Dr. Charles Weaver is an oncologist who founded Cancer Connect. Dr. Weaver views researching or working with cancer patients as the most positive for a doctor to do. For him, the work is an opportunity to engage with people who need information, hope and a guide.Charles life’s focus began to change. Though he was a successful oncologist, Dr. Weaver turned to, like anyone, the internet for answers. This process led to a realization that the patient’s experience, once diagnosed, was a maze of uncertain information. Few first-hand accounts and or reliable ways to ask the basic questions existed.Cancer Connect was born--the program now links 1000’s in a community that is united by cancer. Over the years the group grows--27000 articles written by experts, access to former cancer patients with experiential advice and knowledge and more. The Cancer Connect community is a special place.Similar episodes: Cynthia BestemanGabby Reece Todd Dean
