SOMERSET, NJ--(Marketwire - November 17, 2008) - Longitude Health, Inc. (www.longitudehealth.com), provider of web-based, guided health and wellness solutions for mid-size, self-insured companies, today announced its two-part video series titled, Overcoming Cancer. The inspirational, mini documentary chronicles how breast cancer survivor Jackie O'Rouke underwent bilateral mastectomy, while revealing how she deals with cancer on a daily basis including: personal support structures, the importance of journaling and focusing on happiness.

"It's really important to have a good support system, family, friends, church or whomever you can set up to be a support," O'Rouke said. "It's hard to ask for help, but it's OK, you need to ask for help."

The National Cancer Institute estimates that approximately 2.4 million women with a history of breast cancer were alive in January 2004. Most of these women were cancer-free, while others still had evidence of cancer and may have been undergoing treatment.

In a continuing effort to offer a wide variety of free, on-line health and wellness resources, Longitude Health is now offering inspirational cancer videos on MyHealthVillage.com. Dr. Jan Swaney co-founder of MyHealthVillage.com explains the importance of these videos. "Chemotherapy is only one part of the healing process. A large portion of the healing can be directly attributed to finding informational resources and connecting with individuals that can impart their personal experiences. MyHealthVillage.com strives to be such a resource to positively change people's health outlook."

The two-part video series concludes with O'Rouke summing up her cancer experience. "Your perspective is forever changed -- and I think it's in a positive way. I just don't take things for granted and my life is a lot richer now."

Jackie O'Rouke's entire video series can be view on MyHealthVillage.com, video section.
