From the American Society of Clinical Oncology website: "An ASCO Cancer Treatment Plan and Summary is a form that provides a convenient way to store information about your cancer, cancer treatment, and follow-up care. It is meant to give basic information about your medical history to any doctors who will care for you during your lifetime.

Using the treatment summary, your current oncologist can enter the chemotherapy dose you received, the specific drugs that were used, the number of treatment cycles that were completed, surgeries done, and any additional treatment that was given (such as radiation therapy or hormonal therapy).

ASCO also offers a form called a Survivorship Care Plan based on specific clinical practice guidelines for certain types of cancer. This document guides your follow-up care after cancer treatment is finished.

Please note that none of these forms are intended to provide a complete medical record, and no single treatment plan or summary is appropriate for all patients. Talk with your doctor for more information on your individual treatment and follow-up care. The ASCO Treatment Plan and Summary should be used with the guidance of your doctor. Learn more about the ASCO Treatment Summaries and Survivorship Care Plans."

Study found that women with the largest support networks reported best quality of life

From the Smart Patient website: Smart Patients is an online community for motivated patients and their families and friends. Here you can learn at your own level about scientific developments related to your disease, share your questions and concerns with other members, and use what you learn in the context of your own life.

We believe patients are the most underutilized resource in healthcare. We've watched patients become experts in their diseases — and we see that their knowledge improves the care they receive. With the right tools, you and other patients can do the same.

From the Chemo Chicks website: Living with cancer will change your life and the lives of your family and friends. Your cancer diagnosis becomes a point of reference. You hear yourself saying, "Before I knew I had cancer…" and "After I found out I had cancer…" and the like. We have all heard these statements. Some women take their experience and set examples; inspiring those around her. One such woman is our Jana Rosenblatt aka Ultra Chick!

A fourth stage ovarian cancer diagnosis, while running a successful interior design business, would have stopped anyone - not Jana. In typical Jana fashion, she pounced on the internet, asked a million questions, took advantage of every available resource and cancer support program she could find. All the while, dashing around Los Angeles looking for stylish head coverings, wardrobe alternatives, and make-up to replace her missing eyebrows.

What she found was very disappointing. Even a highly educated woman, with a MFA from NYU in Design for Theater and Film, was finding it very difficult to purchase what she really wanted. As any professional women would, she needed to look presentable and comfortable with her appearance while coping privately with her health. Out of necessity, she began creating, designing, modifying and sourcing alternatives for herself. The reaction was overwhelming. Our eyebrow-missing-bald-on-top- sliced-across-the-middle Jana looked fabulous!
