Hello, Iʼm Erika Hanson Brown
“You have cancer.” These three words forever changed my life. Shocked, alone, and terrified, I felt cast out to sea. I had no bearings, no way to navigate, no one to help me chart my course.
I needed to learn as much about my cancer as I could as fast as possible. I knew experienced colorectal cancer patients could help, but privacy laws prevented name referrals.
Determined to find others in my situation, I leveraged my entrepreneurial experience and created Colontown. A social destination for colorectal cancer patients, Colontown builds community of support. It gives members hope—all delivered with a healthy dose of bathroom humor. I learned that patient-to-patient support leads to more engaged patients and sometimes better outcomes.
We used to think about cancer in terms of organs, but we’ve discovered a new way of understanding cancer. As an example, biomarkers can identify the underlying connection between colon, pancreatic, and lung cancers as a single, genetic mutation expressed in different ways. Breakthroughs in both cancer diagnosis and treatment are on the horizon, which means patients need a new , more educational destination, one that expands beyond the organ site as a the new thing -- the cancer learning network.
The New Better Destination for the patient who wants to live: One Cancer Place.
Welcome to One Cancer Place, our vision for cancer patient empowerment and personalized medicine across all cancer types. We want to make cost-free biomarker testing possible for our patients so they can make informed, strategic decisions about their treatment at diagnosis. With One Cancer Place, we can connect biomarker siblings from across the globe to share experiences and information. We can attract people and create possibilities to advance cancer research through clinical trials.
One Cancer Place puts hope on the map.
