Have you been diagnosed with breast cancer?

If you have been diagnosed with breast cancer, you know your life has suddenly changed.  You will have much information to review and choices to make regarding your treatment.  Many doctors from all the different specialties that provide care for breast cancer patients will assist you.  You might even discuss your care with other women who have been treated for breast cancer (and find their own stories both informing and inspirational) but you quickly realize that breast cancer treatment is not a simple disease with simple options: each patient has to make choices which apply to her particular circumstanes.  The choices that others have made, even with similiar types of cancer, may not be at all appropriate for you.
 

So how do you proceed and how do you make all of this make sense for you?

The Breast Cancer Journey Planner will help you get started and enable you to arrange and review all of the information you are about to collect.  It will also become a valuable reference as you move from one doctor to another, keeping timelines and prior recommendations organized and available for your consultants, who will appreciate your attentiveness to the details of your own care.  

You will become a partner in your care,
not just a recipient of it.
