If you are diagnosed with lung cancer, then visiting Healthline.com can provide you with information such as lung cancer stages.

My grandfather just found out that he has small cell lung cancer and I am beside myself about what to do.  I love my Grandfather and I want to help him through this anyway that I can.  Before my grandfather was diagnosed, I didn’t know anything about cancer, other than it kills a lot of people, so I deiced that there was no better time than now to learn.

I began searching on the Internet for lung cancer symptoms and how lung cancer is diagnosed.  I found a really helpful website, Healthline.com, during my search.  This site is like no others, because it is a search engine, dedicated to health care and designed for use by health care consumers.

This means that you don’t need to know any medical terms to use Healthline.com.  You just type in the terms that you’re familiar with and Healthline.com links them to the medical terms for you.  I was really impressed with how simple it was to use the search engine, and they have some great features that make the search process even easier.

For example, I typed in lung cancer treatment in the search field and Healthline.com gave me suggestions to help broaden or narrow my search so that I could find precisely the information I wanted.  Then, I typed in lung cancer, and a HealthMap popped up, which was like a flow chart about lung cancer, and I could click on any box to jump directly to the topic it contained.

I learned all about lung cancer stages, treatment and prognoses.  Now that I better understand what my grandfather is dealing with, I feel that I can definitely help him get through this.  I will refer him to Healthline.com too, so that he can use this incredibly helpful resource.
