Being at the heart of the treatment for many cancer patients, I have witnessed the many struggles they go through every day. With (un)cancer, I have made it my mission to democratize cancer care for patients and their caregivers and to make their journey to recovery as comfortable as possible outside the clinic and hospital and at home and work. I believe being equipped with the right tools can transform the treatment process from one based on fear to one of strength and resilience.”
