The moment you hear the words “you have cancer,” everything changes. In an instant, you’re thrust into a complex medical world filled with urgent decisions, conflicting opinions, and overwhelming information.
What most patients don’t realize is that the path they take in those first critical weeks can dramatically impact both their treatment outcomes and quality of life for years to come.
After more than two decades as an oncologist, I’ve witnessed a troubling pattern: patients making life-altering decisions without complete information. This isn’t always because oncologists intentionally withhold information—though financial incentives and institutional pressures certainly play a role—but often because the conventional oncology model simply doesn’t allow time for truly informed decision-making.
Consider these realities:
This creates what I call the “guidance gap”—the vast space between what patients need to make truly informed decisions and what the conventional oncology model provides.
Bridging this gap requires something the current system doesn’t offer: an experienced oncologist who:
I’ve seen firsthand how dramatically different the cancer journey can be when patients have proper guidance. Consider these contrasting scenarios:
SCENARIO A: John receives a prostate cancer diagnosis and is quickly scheduled for surgery. No one thoroughly explains active surveillance as an option, despite his low-risk status. He undergoes surgery, experiences significant side effects, and later learns his cancer likely would never have impacted his lifespan.
SCENARIO B: Michael receives the same diagnosis but seeks guidance before making decisions. He learns his cancer is low-risk and appropriate for active surveillance. He chooses this approach, implements evidence-based lifestyle modifications, and maintains both his quality of life and regular monitoring. Five years later, his cancer remains stable, requiring no invasive intervention.
The difference isn’t luck—it’s informed decision-making.
COMPREHENSIVE CANCER NAVIGATION
My approach to cancer navigation includes:
Drawing on over 20 years of oncology experience, I provide objective analysis of your diagnosis, staging, and treatment options—explaining benefits, risks, and alternatives your treating oncologist may not have fully discussed.
I help you understand how different treatment approaches might impact your daily functioning, and identify evidence-based strategies to minimize side effects and maintain wellbeing throughout treatment.
WHEN ONCOLOGISTS TURN A BLIND EYE
While conventional cancer care ignores a powerful ally, patients deserve a physician who puts their comfort first
Medical cannabis provides cancer patients with evidence-based symptom relief when conventional treatments fail to address pain, nausea, and appetite loss.
Personalized protocols—optimizing strain selection, delivery methods, and dosing—maximize benefits while minimizing cognitive effects and drug interactions. With expert guidance, patients can significantly improve quality of life without compromising their primary cancer treatment, making medical cannabis not a last resort but a scientifically-supported complementary approach deserving thoughtful integration.
Based on your specific cancer type, stage, and conventional treatments, I create personalized integrative protocols that complement your primary treatment—potentially enhancing effectiveness while reducing side effects.
I help you clarify your own values and priorities, ensuring your treatment choices align with what matters most to you—whether that’s maximum longevity, quality of life, or a thoughtful balance.
I help you understand what questions to ask, what side effects warrant immediate attention, and how to effectively communicate with your treatment team to ensure optimal care.
Cancer treatment is just one phase of your journey. I provide comprehensive guidance for the often-neglected survivorship period, helping you minimize recurrence risk and rebuild health after treatment.
After helping hundreds of cancer patients navigate their journeys more effectively, I’ve seen remarkable differences in both outcomes and quality of life when patients have proper guidance.
The choices you make in the coming days and weeks will shape not just your treatment experience, but potentially your entire future. Will you navigate this journey alone, relying solely on the limited guidance available in conventional settings? Or will you ensure you have the comprehensive information and support needed to make truly informed decisions?
The difference between these paths is profound. And the choice is yours.
