Bag It

Our goal is to help empower patients with cancer, through information, to help them navigate from an initial diagnosis, throughout treatment, and in to all phases of survivorship. Bag It guides patients on how to talk to their healthcare providers, ask questions, and serve as the most important advocate on their care team.
It includes publications and customizable tools to ensure patients have access to reliable information to help them navigate their journey.

The guidebook content is designed so patients can personalize the content. Organize and store records, write down questions, log appointments or symptoms on a calendar, log medications and symptoms, and more.

The publications include:
*Paths to Survivorship, published by Bag It, combines the most relevant and requested content from the most respected cancer authorities and provides them in a single, easy-to-navigate publication. The topics in this go-to guide are relevant from the point of initial diagnosis through all phases of survivorship. The content is compiled from AICR, ASCO, NCI, NCCS, NCCN, and Cancer Care, Inc.

*Published by the National Cancer Institute, Taking Time discusses the many emotions that come with having cancer, how it can affect relationships, and how to communicate with others in your life. Caring for the Caregiver provides ways friends, family members, and caretakers can take care of themselves while caring for someone with cancer.

*Heal Well, from the American Institute for Cancer Research, provides information on nutrition and cancer. The content includes common questions people ask about diet, nutrition, and physical activity during and after cancer treatment and offers suggestions for common cancer or treatment-related symptom management.
