CSource's Cancer Chatbot is designed to help those just diagnosed with cancer find the resources they need. CSource was started by Jonno Boyer-Dry. Boyer-Dry was just 28 when he was diagnosed with Stage IV Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Although the CSource's founder beat cancer he kept running into the same problem time after time during his fight. Information was scattered and hard to come by. Thus the Cancer Chatbot was born.
The chatbot is meant to be a one-stop shop for those looking for information and ways to support loved ones. It offers links to info on everything from how to choose an oncologist to ways family members can offer support. Instead of endless googling the creators of the Cancer Chatbot hope to give cancer patients the answers they need all through a quick back-and-forth on Facebook Messenger.
