Personal Health Manager
It can be hard to keep track of all the information that you get about your diagnosis and treatment. But keeping this information organized can help you feel less stressed and more prepared to talk with your doctor. The American Cancer Society Personal Health Manager can help.
The Personal Health Manager content can be printed and kept in a 3-ring binder to take along to your appointments. Using tabbed dividers to separate each section will make it easier for you to find what you need.
- Cancer Types & Treatment
