TUESDAY TIDINGS - Navigating Cancer

I found this information - from the Navigating Cancer website - to be very good. It's for newly diagnosed patients:

Tips to improving your care

Daily Health Journal - I really wish I would have had this tool during my treatments!

"This tool allows you to track your symptoms and side effects so you can communicate more effectively with your doctor about how you’re responding to treatment. You can record symptoms & side effects, keep track of medications you are taking, and add daily health notes to track and remember how you're feeling throughout your care."

Prepare for Doctor Visit - This makes it so easy to be prepared when you visit your doctor for each treatment.

"This simple 5-step tool helps you prepare questions for your doctor, including your notes, requests for prescription refills, and prints a summary of your Daily Health Journal."

Treatment Record Summary

"Keep track of your treatments so you have a complete Treatment Record Summary to share with your primary care doctor. It's easier to remember now while you are on therapy and only takes a few minutes."

Navigating Cancer is a wonderfully useful sight. I hope you'll take a minute to sign up (free), and start using these tools.
