Breast Cancer
“I can related to the emotions impact of breast cancer you are feeling , I was shocked, scared, angry, overwhelmed , crushed ,
hopeless, when the doctors informed me … in order for me to survive this I had to take life with
cancer one day at a time , surrounded myself with family,
friends , prayer and faith . … you are not along in this fight , I will keep you and your family in my prayers.” National Breast Cancer Foundation

Brain Cancer
“Brain cancer is so awful. My mom is still in treatment, she has about
10 more avastin treatments left. She is 72, somewhat weak, hardly talks because she can't think of the right
word to say and does nothing but sit in a chair all day and look out the
window. I wonder what will happen once treatment ends, will she get any better or can we expect more of the same for the rest of her life.” CancerCompass.com, 2011-

Online currency: personal experience
"My own personal experiance has been good. I started Onglyza in late January and I still inject
Lantus daily 23-25 units and take one 5mg Onglyza. For the first few months I was able to cut the
Novalog to an occasional correction and for the last month or so haven't even needed to do that. My BG
average since starting is 109 with 98% of my numbers ranging 151-67. For the last 5 weeks my average has dropped to 101 with most readings
falling between 70 and 130. 8 months ago my A1c was over 10, late January it was 8. 6, my next A1c is
in early August and I expect to see somewhere around 5. 5." Tudiabetes.org, 2010-06-05

"I want to go off the met. . . tummy issues and have been on it since November 2 x 5oo mg xr 2 x a
day. . thats a lot of met plus the onglyza which does nothing as far as I can tell. Still need to lose about another 20 lbs. . . am 5'2'' and 148 lbs. Loved the
effects of the victoza on weight but not the constant nausea. Had been on duetact for a while. . but kept
going hypo. Then Glymepiride. . made me hungry as all get out. Sheesh. . . . am so sick and tired of the whole thing!!!!" Diabetesforum.com, 2010-05-21

What do consumers share?
“Get generic or go with a different brand (PediaCare Fever/acetaminophen or Infant Advil/Ibuprofen). …
The FDA report on the only factory that makes infant Tylenol/Motrin is absolutely DISGUSTING- so many
horrible violations, gram negative bacteria in ingredients used in lots of medications for BABIES!
Don't expect to see "safe" Tylenol or Motrin on shelves for a looong time. I will never, EVER support
that company again, if I can avoid it- and I can certainly avoid supporting them through these meds, as there are non-McNeil generics and brand names
available.” TheBump.com, 2010-05-07
Frustration with the company

51
What do consumers share?
“Friday Freakout: Tylenocalypse Edition We left town early, and so we at least saved our
own weekend from the gigantic )#($%ing freakout that is the massive recall of liquid infant's and
children's Tylenol, Motrin, Zyrtec, and Benadryl products issued Saturday. Wait, Saturday? What the hell kind of government agency issues a sweeping
recall of some of the most popular children's medicines on a Saturday? … That would be the FDA. This is not the first time the FDA has had
ineffective, hard-to-follow recall announcements; I hope someone's trying to fix that place.”

Implications
• How quickly does crisis news spread among consumers?
• What are patients and caregivers saying about the event? What information sources are they sharing?
• How does consumer opinion about the brand change as a result?
