Hear from the heart

Moving from uncertainty to confidence

For several years, Chahinez has lived with breast cancer. When her condition stabilised, her medical team recommended monitoring rather than active treatment. However, as a medical professional herself, Chahinez wanted to be certain she was exploring every possible option to prevent recurrence.

She turned to Anticancer Fund’s My Cancer Navigator service for a comprehensive review of therapies and clinical trials. Our team provided an in-depth analysis of medical guidelines and research, clarifying that while no additional treatments were currently indicated, a healthy lifestyle was key to her outcomes.

"Living with cancer is a tricky journey. Even with a good medical team, new questions constantly arise, especially when you hear about others in similar situations who suddenly deteriorate. You can’t help but wonder: Are there other options?
This is exactly where the My Cancer Navigator-information service makes a difference. It fills the gaps left by unanswered questions, helping me understand my timeline and anticipate future steps in a clear, efficient way.
The team’s professionalism and responsiveness were invaluable: questions were answered quickly and thoroughly.
Reaching out was the right decision. I now know that I am not alone. If things take a difficult turn, I have a reliable, knowledgeable source of information alongside my medical team."

Marc, 57 years old, salivary gland tumour
“In six years of treatments, surgeries, and everything in between, this was the first time I sought information from scientists outside of my oncology team.
Thank you for the time you spent with me and for the thoughtful, well-researched information. They were incredibly valuable and truly helpful.
I had a very positive meeting with my oncologist. She wasn’t familiar with your organisation but was genuinely impressed by your approach and the work you do.”
