Advantages of social media for #prostatecancerawareness

always have access to a doctor
ü

Disadvantages of social media for
#prostatecancerawareness
û
Financial exploitation- cancer patients that
can’t afford chemo or their medical expenses often take it to social media to
find people or companies willing to donate, which makes it very easy for
scammers to do the same.
Recommendations
I do think this hashtag should be
used and spread around the world as there are more advantages than
disadvantages. Even though there are more advantages people should be careful
when donating to people that claim that they need help with their medical
expenses as they could become victims of a scam. One should also clarify with
their doctors about information they come across and believe to be true with a
registered healthcare professional. This is an interactive blog, so feel free
