A voice of experience can be reassuring. "Yes, I know it's terrifying - but hang on, you can and will get through it." The security of knowing someone who has successfully finished the journey you're about to embark upon. "I've done it...you can too!" The peace of a shared experience. "Let me tell you about what worked for me."
The unknown can be terrifying. Yet if you have an ally available to help guide you, dealing with cancer and its multiple ramifications becomes easier. That's what partnering is all about. Patients who are newly diagnosed can be partnered with a survivor who can help answer questions and concerns about anything related to the cancer journey. These partners will most likely have a similar diagnosis and/or similar treatment plan. But most importantly, the partners have already come to grips with the fears that a cancer diagnosis can bring, and they are eager to share their hope with you.
