About
What is Navigating Cancer?
Navigating Cancer is a web site dedicated to helping cancer patients and their loved ones become more enlightened, empowered, supported and organized as they navigate their experience with cancer. We offer authoritative information and resources to help you learn more about specific cancers, health and well-being trackers to monitor and manage your care, and easy communication tools to stay connected to your loved ones and your care team.
Why build Navigating Cancer?
At Navigating Cancer, we believe that cancer affects us all. In the next 12 months over 1.4 million people will be diagnosed with cancer in the United States alone. In fact, the odds of someone being diagnosed with cancer at some point in their life are a staggering 45%.
We also believe in everyone’s ability to make a difference and to make living with cancer a more empowering experience for those involved. If you or someone you care about has been touched by cancer, you know how confusing and stressful this journey can be. For this reason we’ve developed navigatingcancer.com – to enable cancer patients and their loved ones to better manage and navigate the cancer journey.

A testimony that survivorship is possible. I was diagnosed with malignant melanoma 29 years ago. Statistics for surviving this disease were against me, so I took action and learned everything I could about my particular disease, and changed my life-style. Fulfilling my dreams of having a child enhanced my desire to live. Integrating Western and Eastern modalities, I sponged up all information, and explored every option. My motto is to never give up, stats are stats, but I became the 1% of survivors that the books talk about. Call me Case Study #34. If you have been diagnosed with malignant melanoma, or know somebody who has; feel free to contact me directly or visit my website for references, and resources.
