“The Cancer Survival Toolbox™ … Building Skills that Work for You” is the first program to help newly diagnosed cancer survivors learn the skills they need to navigate the cancer care process. Developed by a unique collaboration of the National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship (NCCS), the Oncology Nursing Society (ONS), the Association of Oncology Social Work (AOSW), and Genentech BioOncology, the Cancer Survival Toolbox helps cancer survivors build the basic skills they need to advocate for themselves when it comes to treatment, insurance, and empllyment issues. The Cancer Survival Toolbox was developed by experts and survivors alike who share strategies to help survivors use information about their disease in their best interest.
