I take the whole thing to each and every Doctor's appointment. I really appreciate these items so much! I would be fumbling around in the dark trying to find my way through all this. It just seems to take the chaos and stress from the situation. It's like having someone guide you when you can't think straight from all the worry and stress. It has made my life more manageable. I feel so in control of something instead of it having control of me. This is the greatest gift. Thank you!!'

'The planner is an extremely helpful aid for someone facing cancer. Seven years ago I had my first occurrence of breast cancer but did not have the advantage of the CANCER101 planner. I had to put together my own references and information sources from the internet. I kept a journal and a folder of everything. The planner would have been an immense help to me at that time. Thank you for doing such a wonderful thing.'

- D. Fayard from Livingston, TX

'The CANCER101 package arrived at a perfect time. I was feeling overwhelmed by my disorganization and didn't know what questions I should ask my medical oncologist.

After reviewing your file system and getting all my paperwork where it belonged, I felt strong enough to tackle my medical questions. You helped me know what to ask and showed me how to get organized so that I did not feel so scatter-brained. That was a huge boon to my self-confidence going into a meeting that I had been dreading. I shared your information with my cancer coordinator, Betty Cummings, at Abington Memorial Hospital, and Betty was really impressed with your work!

Kudos to you for all you have survived, and for putting together such a useful planner.'

- Trish Fox

'I had never heard of C101 until a friend who was just diagnosed showed me her breastCANCER101 planner.  I am a 3- year breast cancer survivor and I had to put together my own binder with very similar features.  What you are doing is exactly what is needed!'

- Elizabeth Werner, Breast Cancer Survivor

'I came across your website which I was immediately drawn to for your mission, vision and philosophy. As you write in your brochure: "The first 24 hours after diagnosis" is the most difficult for those diagnosed with cancer. As I got ready to leave the doctors office yesterday I was in an emotional state and felt frightened, isolated, stressed and the list goes on. I only wish that someone had handed me your brochure to take home to provide me with the practical support and information you provide during my difficult first twenty-four hours. I thank you for all those that you support and empower through the work that you do.'

- Sheryl Brodsky, Breast Cancer Survivor

The CANCER101 planners have been an excellent resource for my cancer patients and their families. Being diagnosed with cancer is difficult enough. Having pertinent information from reputable sources in a concise easily understood fashion makes it easier for the patient to understand their diagnosis and ultimately treatment options. I will continue to support CANCER101 without reservation.

-Tobi Greene, MD
Hackensack University Medical Center at Hackensack, NJ

This planner is an invaluable tool in laying the foundation for patients as they begin their journey into the world of cancer. They cannot control the fact that they have cancer, but they can take charge of the information they have, the team they choose, and choices they make, and this planner has helped empower them to be organized and in charge.  Every single patient I have given this planner to has taken it with relief and determination on their face, as they come to grips with the reality of their diagnosis.  This tool is just what they need to help them walk through their journey in an organized and informed manner. And I feel like I have a very valuable gift to give these patients! Thank you, CANCER101!

-LuAnn Roberson, RN, CBPN-I
Scottsdale Medical Imaging at Scottsdale, AZ

Staying organized is one of the biggest challenges when faced with an unexpected, complex medical condition. The C101 Planner has found a way to put all of the details needed in a convenient, portable size that is easy to use and understand.  It makes scheduling procedures easier when all appointments are readily available in a 'one-stop' resource. Love this tool. Don't ever stop producing it!

Patients love the expandable file for their bills, insurance and the fact that everything is together.

Good job and very well done.

- Kristy Peters

I have received the planners, taken a close look through them and began distributing to our patients. They are great!!! I love them.

I am looking forward to the planners you will be distributing for the "not breast" patients.

- Laurie A. Gates, LICSW
Jordan Hospital Cancer Center at Plymouth, MA

We have received the planners and we all love them. We already gave away two today and both women were very grateful. Thanks so much for this wonderful tool to help women with breast cancer.

- Dr. Vera Packard
HERS Breast Cancer Foundation at Fremont, CA

The planners are wonderful! They will be a great asset to our Comprehensive Breast Care Center Coordinator when she does in-depth one-on-one patient teaching to women before their surgeries.

I have had the opportunity to thoroughly review the materials and have shared these with Barbara A. Ward, MD, Medical Director of the Breast Center at Greenwich Hospital. C101 is a well conceived, carefully constructed and professionally presented program for use with breast cancer patients and their caregivers. I am amazed at [your] foresight in giving patients an opportunity for long-range planning in their cancer treatment. This is not only practical, but, on a less obvious level, offers hope and security for newly diagnosed breast cancer patients. I love it!

- Jan Larkin, RN, BSN
Nurse Coordinator, Breast Center at Greenwich Hospital

As an administrator at a cancer care community and a cancer survivor, C101 provides a resource that every cancer patient could possibly need. It is a map that provides guidance through the complex and demanding journey that starts with a cancer diagnosis. This tool offers comprehensive information that anyone impacted by cancer can utilize. C101 provides a sense of direction which is very invaluable on the cancer road.

- Migdalia Torres, LCSW

- Pat Stachiw, Medical Librarian
NYU Hospital Center

'I was very concerned about being organized, where to get answers, etc. The planner was a lifesaver; it has certainly made this experience much easier. I am not the patient but we live together. I have the total responsibility for his care, Dr. appointments, and answers for his concerns. Thank you very much for the packet and the much needed help it has given me.'

- Dodie F. from Perrin, TX

'I just wanted to thank you for the CANCER101 Planner that you have created. I bought it for a friend of mine and am going to recommend it to another friend of mine with breast cancer. I lost my Mom to breast cancer when she was only 62 years old. She lived in a small town without access to doctors unless she traveled 1 or 2 hours. I think if she had a tool like your planner it would have allowed her to be more proactive and follow up with her doctors more efficiently. Thanks again for making such a great tool available!'

- Kerry M. from Deerfield, FL

'If my wife and I had only had the breastCANCER101 planner, her complicated doctor and medication schedules as well as the inundation of medical bills would never have been so overwhelming and taxing. C101 is a much needed tool for anyone touched by cancer.'
