talking with a Cancer Expert

We got a much needed overview of my Mother-in-law's kind of lung, the next steps we needed to take, and where to go for more information.

Michelle, Daughter-in-Law

Dr. Venook provided me with peace of mind answering questions I had regarding staging and next steps. He helped me feel calm and confident.

Stacie C, Colorectal Cancer

You need somebody you can speak with, who will review your cancer and tell you all the different options you have because you’re kind of in the dark.

Ken I, Kidney Cancer

It didn’t require that we knew a lot about technology. We turned it on and logged-in and very quickly, everybody was there talking.

Karlyn I, Wife

You felt like you were getting some place. You were in charge, and you didn’t have to wait a month or two months to get informed. It was right there.

Sylvia P, Multiple Myeloma

Eliminating the confusion and uncertainty of cancer and finding my path is worth every dollar spent. I have peace of mind that I made the right decisions for me and my family.

Mike H, Kidney Cancer

We felt we you were getting information tailored to my husbands cancer, from a credible source that you could trust.

Karlyn I, Wife

Once we knew the facts about my cancer, making decisions became a lot easier.

Ken I, Kidney Cancer

The technology was very easy to operate and get going.

Alec P, Son

The CEN expert actually helped us realize that there were a couple of tests that we hadn't done yet to determine my stage of disease. We called our local expert who agreed and immediately ordered the tests.

Mike H, Kidney Cancer

The expert we spoke with had very specific information about my cancer we were desperately needing. He also gave us names of local experts that we could contact as we hadn't found a doctor yet.

Deborah, Lung Cancer

We had three different conversations with experts through Cancer Expert Now. Each one gave us information about each step of the treatment. Each one made us feel more confident with our decisions.

Jen H, Wife

I got new insights into available options including clinical trials. Because the doctor who answered our questions was a top expert we felt like we were getting all of the options!

Michelle B, Daughter-in-Law

It was so great that we could have a conversation with myself in my apartment, my son in his, and the doctor a distance away.

Sylvia P, Multiple Myeloma

When we connected with the expert through the CEN video platform, Dr. Dutcher already knew everything about my husband's cancer so the time we spent with her was extremely valuable thanks to CEN.

Jen H, Wife

I met with a top cancer expert over video conferencing, really over a cup of coffee on a Sunday morning.

Mike H, Kidney Cancer

Setting up the session was so simple! My CEN Navigator was very helpful and communicative.

Stacie C, Colorectal Cancer

I am very happy with having spoken with Dr. Wiernik. He is a lovely person who transmitted me the peace I needed in this process to move forward with my illness.

Pilar C, Lymphoma

She helped us understand that we were going the right direction and making good decisions.

Mike H, Kidney Cancer

We were very confused when my husband was diagnosed. What do you do? Where do you go? Who do you talk to? Where do I start my research? That is until we found Cancer Expert Now and Dr. Dutcher.

Karlyn I, Wife

Having a personal discussion with one of the worlds top experts even before my father had his diagnosis of lung cancer confirmed gave us an edge in making quick and confident decisions and getting the best outcome.

Andy K, Son

My mother drove 2 hours to and from NYC each way just to be seen by a top expert. It took 10 days to get the appointment. If we had known about CEN sooner we could have saved so much time, effort, and money.

Jen S, Daughter

My CEN expert was kind, thoughtful, and patient. He gave me his full attention and answered every question I had. On top of it my whole session was recorded so I could share with my daughter and now she can stop asking me "what did the doctor say?".

Ron M, Lung Cancer

When I first heard I had cancer I completely went blank. I couldn't remember anything my doctor told me. When I went home and decided to understand what was happening with me I was so happy to find Cancer Expert Now. The expert was so understanding and helped me understand what was important about my cancer so I could take action with confidence.

Jonathan C, Prostate Cancer

The CEN team was amazing! They helped me every step of the way - I'm no computer expert but they walked me through every step on how to connect. It was so simple.

Adele M, Breast Cancer

We were so scared when we took my mom home from her cancer doctor. I called my friend who told me about CEN. I'm so grateful! Within 24 hours I was connected with the top expert in the world who walked me through all of the information about my mom's cancer in a simple to understand way.

Allie P, Daughter

I learned more in 30 minutes with my expert through CEN than I did in days searching the web. I learned about biomarkers that I had and which treatments treated my cancer! If I had known before the call how i would feel after I would have paid double!

Sue H, Cervical Cancer

My expert through CEN was amazing! I like him so much I went to see him in his office and he is now the doctor treating me. In fact, he got me an appointment the very next day I spoke with him through CEN.

Jen M, Breast Cancer
