Advocacy Questions

Did you ask questions of your doctor or care team that would help you better understand your treatment, side effects and how you could participate in your care?

Have you helped another person who received a cancer diagnosis by giving him or her ideas for questions to ask?

Have you spoken about your experience at support groups in ways that helped others learn how they can speak up for themselves?

Have you written letters or called your local or federal lawmakers? Have you participated in Capitol Hill visits to congress?

All of these activities – and many more – represent forms of advocacy, and we would love to know how you feel about doing them. What do you get out of it? What do you think others get out of it?
