Cancer To-Do List
For Cancer Patients and Caregivers
The goal of the Cancer To-Do List is to empower you with research-based information and practical tools to save time, money, and energy as you navigate through a cancer diagnosis.
WELCOME
Have you been recently diagnosed with cancer? Or maybe someone you love is battling cancer and you want to offer your support.
Whether you’re a patient or caregiver, or simply a concerned friend, you’ve come to the right place.
About The To-Do List
The Cancer To-Do List contains five categories to equip you with research-based information and practical tools that will save you time, money, and energy as you navigate through a cancer diagnosis. This list will help you get organized, make informed decisions, and take care of your body and mind so you can focus on life and healing. While it is my hope that you will find value in all five categories, feel free to pick and choose what you need most at the moment. If you’re looking for guidance, I recommend beginning and ending with a commitment to “Thrive.”

Having information at your fingertips is an important part of navigating through your cancer diagnosis and treatments. You’ll want to track information such as appointments, medical records, tests and labs, and your timeline.
