Primary Benefit - Your cancer navigator will help you find your way through the bewildering cancer maze.
Why is this Necessary:
Few patients understand the nature of cancer. They also report that their doctors/oncologists provide scant information about treatment options & side-effects.
Consequently; the first port of call for many patients (and friends) is Dr Google.
This is fraught with problems because laypeople cannot discern between valid science and pseudoscience – the internet abounds with fake cancer news.
So – like any wise ship’s captain you engage a Navigator to gain the following benefits…
