Personal Bio (My story)
I am the founder of TalkAboutHealth. I am here to help in whatever way I can. Feel free to email me at any time at murray@talkabouthealth.com.
I was inspired to start TalkAboutHealth after my father had melanoma. We had such a difficult time understanding our health situation and making decisions. There was so much information, and we did not know what was relevant or significant to our situation. We needed personalized answers from experts and to connect with others like us. That's what TalkAboutHealth is about, connecting people who need health support with the people who can help.
Our goal is to improve outcomes by helping patients become more engaged in their health care, feel confident in their decisions, and find others like them to connect with for support.

When a patient is first diagnosed with cancer, it is like being on a roller coaster. It's normal to be emotional when you hear the words cancer. It can bring about feelings of shock and fear of the unknown. Take time to understand your diagnosis; don't be afraid to ask questions, seek information and resources until you are fully comfortable with your situation and the proposed treatment plan. Ask a close friend or family member to attend your appointments with you to take notes or keep track of your questions. Information sources should be reliable, ask your health care team for good sources and seek out the nearest cancer resource library to find an educator, patient navigator (a great resource is the American Cancer Society Navigator Program 1-800-2345) or social worker (ask about this at your Cancer Center). Remember that every person has an individual course of treatment and recovery. Focus on one step at a time. Most importantly, remember that you are not alone. Seek support along the way from those that love you.
