Toolbox Module Highlight: Negotiating
Negotiating means talking with people involved in your healthcare so that you can get what you need to have the best quality of life possible. You may need to talk to your boss to negotiate a change in your work schedule during treatment or negotiate your treatment plan with doctors to have care that works for you.

It’s not always easy to negotiate when you and your family are dealing with cancer, but the Negotiating module of the Cancer Survival Toolbox can help you learn the skills you need to ask for and receive the care you deserve. Listen now >>
