| Source: Longitude Health
SOMERSET, NJ--(Marketwire - November 17, 2008) - Longitude Health, Inc.
(www.longitudehealth.com), provider of web-based, guided health and
wellness solutions for mid-size, self-insured companies, today announced
its two-part video series titled, Overcoming Cancer. The inspirational, mini
documentary chronicles how breast cancer survivor Jackie O'Rouke underwent
bilateral mastectomy, while revealing how she deals with cancer on a daily
basis including: personal support structures, the importance of journaling
and focusing on happiness.
"It's really important to have a good support system, family, friends,
church or whomever you can set up to be a support," O'Rouke said. "It's
hard to ask for help, but it's OK, you need to ask for help."
The National Cancer Institute estimates that approximately 2.4 million
women with a history of breast cancer were alive in January 2004. Most of
these women were cancer-free, while others still had evidence of cancer and
may have been undergoing treatment.
In a continuing effort to offer a wide variety of free, on-line health and
wellness resources, Longitude Health is now offering inspirational cancer
videos on MyHealthVillage.com. Dr. Jan Swaney co-founder of
MyHealthVillage.com explains the importance of these videos. "Chemotherapy
is only one part of the healing process. A large portion of the healing can
be directly attributed to finding informational resources and connecting
with individuals that can impart their personal experiences.
MyHealthVillage.com strives to be such a resource to positively change
people's health outlook."
The two-part video series concludes with O'Rouke summing up her cancer
experience. "Your perspective is forever changed -- and I think it's in a
positive way. I just don't take things for granted and my life is a lot
richer now."
Jackie O'Rouke's entire video series can be view on MyHealthVillage.com,
