CancerHope is a not for profit foundation, founded in 1995 by Dr. Eric Rost and is dedicated to the improvement and individualized care and education for cancer patients worldwide.
If you are reading this, and have cancer, you are looking for help. You have probably already seen a doctor or possibly more than one doctor. You need guidance and expertise to help you through the maze of questions and treatment options. You are embarking on one of the most important relationships of your life.
The matter of trust between patient and physician is not minor or nonmedical. Studies show that trust enhances healing. Experience shows that without trust, a cancer patient risks real harm.
As a cancer patient, you need a physician who speaks in plain language, makes sense, welcomes questions, and admits to unknowns. You need a physician who encourages your research, is open to second opinions, and seeks out other specialists. You don't need waiting for call backs or appointments. In multispeciality extended treatment, you critically need a central, expert contact: someone to supervise, solve problems, and support you.
When you have cancer, you need to know. Trust Matters.
The Cancer Hope Foundation provides direction and clarification that benefits individualized patients. The field of cancer medicine has increased dramatically. The application of these advances are eased by the education and instruction to individualized patients. A majority of the proceeds to the Foundation are given for individualized patient education. The Cancer Hope Foundation is designed to fulfill the need for individual cancer answers that are often left in the hands of large cancer societies or small focus cancer groups. We provide information and direction for specific patients for specific problems using all of the resources that are currently available worldwide.
