It Takes A Team To Fight Cancer

 After I was diagnosed with cancer, I entered a world that was unfamiliar to me.  I quickly discovered cancer treatment systems were large and complex.  Many different kinds of health care facilities and institutions are involved, and the system is populated by a bewildering array of professionals.

Many times I felt that I was being processed, moved from one professional to another for tests and procedures I didn’t always understand.  So many times I had to repeat the same information about my condition over and over again.  There were moments when I couldn’t help but feel frustrated, angry, and alone.
