“Cancer is a complex condition. For this reason, sources of easy to understand, accurate information are invaluable. Resources such as CMedEd may be helpful to patients, caregivers and others interested in learning more about cancer management.”

“The work that Pittman Communications produce and provide are outstanding examples of patient education. The content is up to date and pertinent to patients dealing with illness. The illustrations are well thought out and align well with the messaging. The patients will find the educational materials absolutely essential to facilitating their decision process and staying current in understanding their treatment options.”

"This is extremely well-done. Today breast cancer patients are extremely involved in planning their management. Understanding the complexity of the process is a crucial step toward an open communication between health care providers and patients. I believe we have to improve our patients education to increase the quality of care and participation in research projects."

What Patients Are Saying

“The illustrations and clear, concise language both lead to an explanation of the disease that a layperson can relate to.”

“CMedEd is easily understood and speaks to the layman in layman terms, not speaking over our heads like so many sites do.”

“Clean, easy graphics. The website has a progressive logic…arrow leads you to the next thing. Don’t have to fish for yourself.”

“This website appears to have empathy for the patients’ needs, that so many (doctors and other websites) do not address.”

“It was good to have information that has been reviewed by a physician expert so that I did not have to sift through all of the conflicting information on the internet regarding what to expect from breast radiation therapy.”

“Having this information presented to me prior to treatment knowing it has been reviewed by my physician really put me at ease with the treatment process and what to expect during radiation.”

"As a caregiver, I often feel overwhelmed by the amount of conflicting information online. Finding this website was like a breath of fresh air. The fact that that CMedEd's content is backed by medical professionals gave me the confidence I needed to help my patients make informed decisions."

Dena,. Texas

"Twenty years ago, my father was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer. I wish CMedEd had existed back then. Having a reliable resource to understand treatment options and what the diagnosis meant for his prognosis would have been invaluable.
Since discovering CMedEd, I’ve not only used it myself but have also recommended it to friends recently diagnosed with cancer. I'm grateful to have access to such an incredible resource!"

Blair,. CA

“I have reviewed and critiqued CMedEd’s content and their educational approach/process to cancer and chronic conditions for over five years. As a former product manager and subject matter expert for case management, chronic conditions and wellness, I find their educational engagement superior to other sites I have reviewed. The website is intuitive, with a critical pathway that starts with the beginning diagnosis, outlining each step, providing a contextual overview, potential risk factors, staging levels, expected symptoms, diagnostic procedures, and finally treatment options and expected and anticipated results. I highly recommend CMedEd."
