BENEFIT OF EDUCATION
The cancer journey will be much easier when you can prepare for the next challenge around the bend and not feel ambushed by the unexpected.
How to best prepare? Get educated. Start reading about your disease. Our Chairman has authored three indispensable pamphlets about coping with cancer, based on his many years as a cancer patient advocate. Get them in our office or online...free-of-charge, of course.
