Advantages of social media for #prostatecancerawareness

  ü  Raise awareness about prostate cancer

  ü  Symptoms are readily available online

  ü  Medical question forums for those that don’t always have access to a doctor

  ü  Awareness can help inform people on what actions they should take if they suspect that they have prostate cancer

  ü  Early diagnosis can save a life

Disadvantages of social media for #prostatecancerawareness

  û  Misinformation

  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.
