Organizing Your Care

During your cancer treatment, you will have many caregivers—your physician(s), an oncology nurse, a pharmacist, financial counselors and others. You will also receive a great deal of information about your disease and its treatment. Keeping information organized in a folder or three ring binder may help you and your family stay organized. Include copies of medical forms, contact information for your caregivers, test results, insurance information, Explanation of Benefits from your insurance company, statements from various service providers, and notes about questions you want to ask or things to remember from your appointments.
