You never forget hearing the
words ‘You have cancer.’
My world changed when I received
that shocking diagnosis. I was confused,
scared, and felt incredibly ill-equipped to answer
questions that would change my life and body, forever.
That same day, my surgeon gave me a CANCER101 (C101)
Planner. I started taking notes, getting second opinions,
collecting business cards, and it all began to fill the pages of my
C101 Planner. I started to feel organized and empowered.
Although it was all a bit of a blur, as I scurried from one appointment
to the next, getting tested, poked and prodded, I knew I could just grab
my C101 Planner and I’d have everything I needed. Over a decade later, I
still take my binder to every single follow-up appointment. I call it my
‘bible.’ It is a bit worn, full of post-its, and I’ve added many extra pages
over the years, but it continues to serve me well."

I was overwhelmed
by the amount of
information I received
since I was diagnosed
with cancer,
and I had tossed many of the materials into a folder
with future plans to review. When I first received
the C101 Planner from my doctor, I thought the
accordion file was just a way to keep organized, but as I
started to review the materials in the binder, I found the
content easy to understand and very informative. It was a
great way to keep track of information to share with my doctor
and nurse, and wasn't so heavy on the medical jargon. It's one
stop shopping, where someone has done all the research for
me, filtered the garbage from the gold, and put it into a
great package."
