Why do I need a cancer consultant, isn’t that what my medical team is for?

Your medical team plays a very important role in your cancer journey. I’ve created a personal supplement to the services offered to you by your health system. Healthcare is trending to get busier and busier, creating many challenges and, at times, mistakes. I can be your personal attendant and set your mind at ease about the unknowns. I can prepare you for your upcoming appointments by identifying what you don’t know and creating questions to talk to your doctor about. Knowledge is power!

What kinds of things can a cancer consultant do for me if you can’t give “medical advice”?

I may not be able to “give medical advice.” However, I have been an oncology-certified nurse and cancer warrior, so I can speak from both professional and personal experience. This is very unique in the oncology world. Do your doctors or nurses actually know how you feel? They most definitely excel in the empathy department. However, wouldn’t it reduce your anxiety to know you have someone on your team who really understands? Together we are stronger!

How can my cancer experience be improved?

My goal is to personalize the experience for each individual. This consulting service allows your journey to be unique to you. I will intently listen to you to create the experience you desire. I hope my clients live their best lives even with cancer diagnoses. You are in charge of your attitude toward this unsettling situation. Together we can change the perception of what cancer traditionally looks like. “Change the way you look at things, and things you look at change.”

Is it possible to have a positive experience
with cancer?

The answer is YES! Having a cancer diagnosis may cause you to feel a lack of control. Oftentimes, the sense of things being out of control causes anxiety. Going into a situation filled with uncertainty and angst can create unwanted outcomes. However, anxiety tends to be the natural human emotion when hearing the word cancer. I can help ease your anxiety by using multiple therapeutic techniques. The mind is a powerful tool when used correctly. Your cancer path does not have to be dark and dreary. We can manifest whatever we choose to. It can be done!
