Let's Go Cancer Care!
When you travel abroad, you go prepared. You have an itinerary listing your flights and connections, and you can buy a guide suggesting where to go, what to see and how to get there. For most people, cancer treatment and follow-up care is far more foreign than another country – so why isn't there a guide for that? With cancer care planning, there would be.
