Who It’s For: Cancer is a complex disease. As you grapple with your cancer, you will come across important information about risks, treatments, complementary and alternative options, side effect management and other things that could impact your health. You really need to be an authority in cancer, which is what this program is all about. Over the next four weeks, we will help you become an expert in your own cancer. If you are interested in communicating better with your doctors, understanding what is happening in your body, and gathering information to make decisions, then this is the program for you.
What You’ll Do: Each week you’ll have a task to complete. This task will move you forward in becoming a Cancer Patient Expert. These tasks are designed to increase your current knowledge, whether you feel like you know next to nothing or you have already read several books. As a result of completing each task, you will gain valuable skills to use in understanding and managing your cancer. Here is the list of skills:
- Surfing the Medical Web
- Be a Cancer Encyclopedia
- Keep a Health Log
- Become Articulate
Results to Expect: By the end of the program, you will feel more in control of your health. You will understand what is happening in your body and you will be able to speak about it and explain it to others, including your doctor. You will also have some tools to use to investigate symptoms, side effects and other mysteries of cancer and cancer treatment. Most importantly, you’ll be able to quickly process information and make informed decisions. Sound good? Let’s get started.
