Patient Navigation

Answer Cancer Foundation offers individual peer-to-peer patient advocacy for cancer treatment at all stages.

We are peers who have navigated the system from health care and insurance to quality of life improvements like stress management, diet and exercise. By staying current, Answer Cancer can provide cutting edge information and guidance.

Facing cancer is invariably life-threatening – at least in the survivors’ mind. In practice, there are many more survivors than mortalities and a cancer diagnosis can often be treated or managed resulting in cure, durable remission or long-term management.

Answer Cancer Foundation can help individuals negotiate their disease technically and emotionally by:

Understanding your diagnosis
Identifying the right and best medical team
Selecting treatment alternatives
Improving your quality of life
Addressing side effects and co-morbidities
Attending medical appointments
Understanding medical reports identifying clinical trial
Negotiating health insurance
Evaluating complementary treatments

Answer Cancer does not provide medical advice – we do empower you to manage your own care.

Our virtual support groups are offered free of charge. For personal, one-on-one navigation we require a tax-deductible donation and that you cover our out-of-pocket expenses. While we ask the donation to be based on our time and effort, no one is ever turned away and no amount is too small.
