The Breast
Cancer Lighthouse is designed for women who have been newly
diagnosed with breast cancer. This
calming, feminine interface contains personal stories of 14
survivors of breast cancer as well as medical facts from health
care professionals about diagnosis, treatment and recovery.
The lighthouse interface includes a "walk
along the beach" to meet women who have been diagnosed
and treated for breast cancer and hear their stories. A total
of 7 hours of audio is included.
Health care information is divided into
two different garden paths, one for breast cancer that is
contained within the breast duct, and a separate path for
cancer that has spread beyond the duct.
The CD-ROM is designed for use in at home,
in a health care professionals office, and health clinics.
It can be used by women with breast cancer and by their friends
and families to gain an understanding of the emotional dimensions
of living with breast cancer.
