iChemoDiary - Neat iPhone app

I just learned about this great new iphone app - iChemoDiary. It is made by Merck Onoclogy part of Merck and Co. Merck makes that wonderful nausea drug Emend.

The app works on the iPhone or iPod touch and an online version will be available soon.

The app uses a calendar so you can keep track of your chemotherapy appointments, treatments and medications. It also lets you track side effects like fatigue, nausea, pain, temperature etc. It even lets you make reports that you can e-mail to yourself so that you can discuss side effects etc with your doctor or nurse.

I downloaded it just to see how it works and it covers lots of what I would write out by hand on my trusty Rutgers alumni calendar. Wish I had it when I was in chemo.Thanks Merck.
