Re: Fun Free Opportunities/resources for Breast Cancer patients

"No matter your cancer type or stage, our expert network can help you tap into the world's collective cancer knowledge. Get your questions answered quickly, clearly, and free of charge.

Cancer is thousands of distinct, molecular diseases, with hundreds of potential treatments. Experts seldom agree on the optimal way to treat any cancer. Cancer Commons levels the playing field by bringing the world’s collective knowledge and resources to each patient and continuously refining that knowledge based on clinical results."

"What we can do for you:

Imagine that you or someone you loved was just diagnosed with cancer. You’re overwhelmed, confused, and terrified all at once. Forced to make life-or-death decisions, under the gun. With no data. You consult Dr. Google and get thousands of search results, most of which are irrelevant to you. You seek second opinions and get conflicting recommendations. Often, the right path is unclear. Occasionally, there are no paths at all.

Cancer Commons is here to help.
We don’t give you a second opinion, we give you the best “second opinion” available.

We alert you to brilliant science, delivered with a great bedside manner.

We don’t list every clinical trial, we highlight the best trials for you.

If there are no good trials, your case will be reviewed by experts.

If you’re out of options, we can connect you directly with cancer researchers who may have promising investigational therapies."

“Cancer Commons is a great first step to help you understand your disease, clarify decisions you have to make, and access the latest treatment information your community-based oncologist may not have.”

“Cancer Commons is one of the few organizations that is actively promoting patients having a strong, educated voice in their treatment.”

“Cancer commons was amazing in providing support and info on possible clinical trial options. There was nothing else like it to help wade through all the info and find relevant trials.”
