Care coaching for cancer

Cancer comes with a second job. We do that job with you.

The appointments that take six calls to book. The denial letter with a deadline. The trial your doctor mentioned once and never brought up again. A care coach takes this work on, so your energy goes to treatment and to the people you love.

Talk to a Care Coach

The first conversation is free. Your coach calls you within 1 business day.

One coach, start to finish. The person who answers first stays with your case.
Private and yours. Your details are never sold and you can delete them anytime.
Built by people who lived it. Founded by a caregiver after his mother's illness.
What your coach takes on

The work that lands on families, handled.

Nobody warns you how much of cancer is logistics. Portals that don’t talk to each other, referrals that never get sent, phone trees, forms, deadlines. Your coach carries that load and tells you plainly where things stand.

Hand something off

Appointments chased and made

We email the offices, make the calls, and follow up until it is on the calendar. You get told when to show up.

Into a clinical trial, not just aware of one

Finding a trial takes ten minutes. Getting in takes screening calls, referrals, records, and timing. We do that part, end to end.

Denials appealed, coverage found

Insurance said no? We write the appeal, file it before the deadline, and look for assistance programs that can cover what insurance will not.

Second opinions arranged

The right specialist for your specific case, records sent ahead, visit booked. You walk in and they already know your story.

Paperwork done and records organized

Disability, FMLA, drug assistance forms filled and tracked. Records gathered from every portal into one clear picture, so nothing gets repeated and nothing gets missed.

Nothing falls behind

Labs, refills, and follow-ups stay on schedule. Your coach checks in so you do not have to hold it all in your head.

Who answers

Care coaches are two kinds of people.

Every case gets at least one of them. Often both, when the situation calls for it.

Survivors who have been where you are

Patients and caregivers who went through diagnosis, treatment, insurance fights, and the 2 a.m. searching. They know the difference between what a pamphlet says and what a week of chemo feels like.

Oncology researchers who know the science

Scientists who work in precision oncology every day. They read cases like yours for a living and can tell you which questions are worth taking back to your doctor.

How it works

It starts with one free conversation.

Is it really free? The first conversation is, always, with no card and no obligation. If your situation calls for ongoing hands-on help, that is a paid service, and your coach will say so plainly before anything starts. Many families get what they need from the first call alone.

First

Tell us what you're facing

About three minutes, in your own words. No records needed, no diagnosis you have to spell.

Within a day

A coach calls you

They read everything you shared before they dial, so you never start from zero.

On the call

You agree on what gets handled

Together you pick what to hand off first. Some things get settled right there. For deeper ongoing help, your coach explains the options honestly, including what they cost.

From there

Everything stays visible

Your coach keeps a written record of every step, and tells you plainly where things stand. Nothing happens that you did not agree to.

Why this exists

“I lost my mother to ovarian cancer in 2025. Through her illness I became her care coach, thousands of hours in oncology, pharmacology, and genetics, years in and out of hospitals, learning to read the literature myself. I remember the folder of records nobody could make sense of, and the right question arriving a day too late.

Most families don’t have someone who can make that their whole life. A care coach is that person, someone who does the work I had to teach myself, and stands beside you the way I wish someone had stood beside us.”

Where we stand

We prepare you for your doctor. We never replace your doctor.

A clear boundary is part of the care. It is what lets us be genuinely useful without ever putting your safety at risk.

You don’t have to figure this out alone.

One conversation is enough to start. Someone who has been there, or who studies this every day, will pick it up.
