When you are newly diagnosed, you don't need horror stories. You need hope.
When you hear the words “it’s cancer,” your world stops. Time stands still for a moment, and you wonder if there is some mistake. Everything is measured in terms of before they tell you that you have cancer and after you find out you have cancer. Once you know, there are so many words being said that you probably never heard before, treatment options, and decisions to be made. It’s almost as if the doctors are speaking a foreign language as they point to test results and order more tests. What I appreciated most about CanSup was that they translated everything for me and helped me understand what was going on. Just being able to understand all the technical terms and what they meant for ME was priceless!
CanSup can give you information and the tools to help you make the best decisions for yourself. They empower you at a moment when you feel the most powerless.
Cancer is so common now, and while there are many treatments available, it’s still incredibly intimidating and overwhelming. We all know someone who has lost their battle with cancer, but there are so many more that have been treated and go on to live long, full lives. Not all cancers are equal with some being more deadly than others. CanSup helps patients understand their specific cancer, prognosis, and even new research out there related to each specific cancer. It is so helpful to have targeted information handed to you by CanSup instead of wading through the internet with all the horror stories. When you are newly diagnosed, you don’t need horror stories. You need hope.
Having an advocate and someone you can call, text or email with questions is amazing. Also having someone who’s been through this before with other patients, and can anticipate what you need to know before you even think of it, is invaluable.
CanSup helped me navigate the scariest time of my life. David helped me cut through the noise to see what was important to focus on. I’m so grateful for the expertise, time, and compassion that David and CanSup gave me. I’m fortunate to be one of the positive outcomes, and I hope I can offer hope to those just beginning this journey.

CanSup helped us become active participants in the process.
CanSup was a lifeline when we were facing a rare cancer. They guided us to the right experts when finding help seemed impossible, and their personalized support made all the difference. I trust their advice completely – it gave us clarity and hope when we needed it most.
Navigating a rare cancer diagnosis was overwhelming. Medical appointments were filled with complex terminology, and even though I tried to absorb everything, I often left feeling uncertain about next steps. Everyone we spoke to had advice, but without understanding the specific nuances of our case, much of it wasn’t helpful. It wasn’t until we found CanSup that things started to fall into place.
What set CanSup apart was their ability to bring order to the chaos. It wasn’t just about having recordings of our appointments – CanSup went further by transcribing and breaking down those conversations, helping us understand the critical points and medical jargon. They didn’t just stop at explaining what had already been said; they helped us map out next steps and guided us in formulating the right questions to ask in future appointments.
This level of support made us feel more empowered and less lost in the maze of information. Instead of feeling like passive recipients of care, CanSup helped us become active participants in the process. Their guidance was always specific to our situation, making sure we were on the best possible path for treatment and follow-up.
CanSup’s approach brought clarity and calm during a time of intense uncertainty The technology and tools they used helped us make sense of overwhelming medical details, but more than that, they provided a roadmap to navigate each phase of treatment. This wasn’t just about information – it was about truly understanding the process and being prepared for what lay ahead.
I can’t recommend CanSup highly enough. Their blend of personalized support and cutting-edge tools made an enormous difference in how we approached my spouse’s care. I will always be thankful for the clarity and reassurance they provided during such a difficult time.

When the diagnosis is as serious as cancer, anything less just isn’t enough.
I was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of breast cancer. Throughout treatment, I received good care, care that followed standard of care, care that was provided by compassionate, experienced providers. The healthcare system typically provides care based on guidelines determined by what worked for other patients with my diagnosis. Working in healthcare, I knew this was the norm and honestly hadn’t given it much thought. But when I found CanSup, it was a profound realization that treating me like every other breast cancer patient wasn’t enough. I needed more.
A cancer diagnosis is a scary thing. Throughout my journey I’ve realized that while the words describing the diagnosis may be the same, each diagnosis is unique – because every person and their needs are different. This important distinction is what sets CanSup apart from any other resource I have found. Yes, I need a team of doctors and medical treatment to beat this disease. But I also need so much more, like feeling like an active participant in my care, talking about my options with someone who takes the time to hear my perspective and provide unbiased feedback, and knowing I’m doing everything in my power to beat this disease. Pairing CanSup with good clinical care provides an unparalleled approach to comprehensive care. When the diagnosis is as serious as cancer, anything less just isn’t enough.
I can’t say enough about this organization but what I will say is, when I found this organization, I didn’t know I needed them, but now I couldn’t imagine doing it without them.

CanSup stepped in and made an immeasurable difference in our journey.
I am deeply grateful for the unwavering support my family and I have received from CanSup, and especially from David. When my husband was diagnosed with glioblastoma, our world was completely turned upside down. We were suddenly faced with countless decisions and overwhelming medical information – it felt impossible to navigate alone. That’s when David and CanSup stepped in and made an immeasurable difference in our journey.
From the very beginning, David took the time to explain treatment options in a way we could understand, guiding us through the process of finding clinical trials that gave us renewed hope.
But his support didn’t stop there. David was with us every step of the way—helping us understand complex medication regimens and potential side effects, and even breaking down the intricate details of my husband’s MRI reports. Each MRI result brought so much fear, but with David’s help, we were able to grasp what was happening in a clear and compassionate way. His ability to translate medical jargon into something meaningful and manageable has been a lifeline for us.
What truly sets David and CanSup apart is their genuine care. We never felt like just another case. David made sure to follow up, to check in, and to offer comfort during the hardest moments.
For anyone facing a diagnosis like ours, I cannot recommend CanSup enough. They have been an incredible source of knowledge, support, and compassion, and I will be forever thankful for the hope and guidance they have given us.
