Our Navigational Tools
FinancialNavigator
A breast cancer diagnosis can make a significant impact on a person’s life. Not only are you faced with a life-threatening illness and the impact it has on your health and state of mind, but you can also be faced with a potentially significant impact to your finances as well. From loss of income, to travel expenses, childcare and costs of treatment to name a few, cancer can be detrimental to your financial stability. This navigation tool can help you find sources of financial assistance to offset the financial burden of a cancer diagnosis. You will find programs at the national and provincial level that either provide income support or in-kind services to help ease the impact this disease can have on your everyday life.
MedSearch
The purpose of the breast cancer drug navigation tool is to help patients and caregivers easily find information about what breast cancer drugs are publicly funded in each province and territory across Canada, including their status within the drug approval process. This tool provides general information about the various treatments for breast cancer. It also directs patients to information about additional funding sources for drugs that aren’t currently listed on public formularies.
PatientPath
Finding out you have breast cancer can leave you feeling many things. This may be one of the scariest, most uncertain chapters in your life. While there is a wealth of information online about breast cancer, finding information specific to your type of breast cancer can be confusing. Adding to this confusion is the lack of information available about what this journey will look like over the next months and years.
PatientPath is here to help you better understand what these next steps may look like. This tool allows you to filter information about breast cancer that is unique to you. We will ask you a series of questions that will tailor information, resources, and a general treatment plan based on your stage, type and sub-type.
SurgeryGuide
Breast surgery is one of the key tools in the management and treatment of breast cancer. It can also be one of the most feared. It is our sincere hope that this tool will help alleviate some of that fear by arming you with knowledge. This decision aid is meant to navigate you through the various surgery and post-surgery options and provide you with the information that you need to make a decision with your doctor.
