“I am proud to be affiliated with Cancer U because it teaches patients how to advocate for themselves to get the treatment they deserve.”
Dr. Laura Porter
“After my own cancer diagnosis, I realized quickly that I needed to learn a lot about my disease and how to communicate with my providers more effectively. Cancer U is an excellent resource that provides everything you need in one location to help educate you and your care team to prepare you for what’s ahead.”
Rebecca Seago-Coyle
‘Whether you are a patient or caregiver, the moment you hear the dreaded ‘C’ word, your life changes. Forever. Your power is stripped away as you react to your new normal of tests, treatments, doctors, and medications.
A cancer diagnosis puts you into a reactive state. I lost the most important person in my life to cancer, and I remember swimming in the chaos of helplessness. Even after starting a non profit to combat her cancer, I realized patients needed more than information and education.
They needed to be empowered to advocate for their cancer care. I began to wonder…
What could I do to change a cancer patient’s journey?
How could I empower cancer patients and caregivers from the moment they hear the ‘C’ word?
How could I combine my talents of teaching, coaching, writing, and advocacy to create better outcomes for cancer patients and caregivers?
When you ask the universe questions, you often receive the most surprising answers.

We do not offer telephone tech support for individuals. In our experience, the written record created by a text-based ticketing system solves problems efficiently and effectively, and archives those solutions for future reference in a way that telephone conversations cannot.
The beauty of Cancer U is that you can view the content inside your membership at any time on any device including laptops, tablets, and smart phones and you do not need special software. One of core values is Ease of Use so we promise to make your user experience as easy as possible.
