Dr. Sarah Friend, a medical oncologist specializing in breast cancer, introduces her innovative cancer coaching service called My Friend MD designed to provide personalized support throughout the cancer journey. She created this service after recognizing that traditional 15-minute doctor visits don't allow enough time for patients to fully discuss their concerns, fears, and questions.
• My Friend MD offers personalized one-hour coaching sessions tailored to individual needs at any stage of the cancer journey
• Services include preparing questions for doctor appointments, analyzing treatment plans, or developing health and wellness strategies for survivors
• Dr. Friend serves as an advocate working with medical teams, not replacing them
• The service helps patients make informed decisions rather than fear-based choices
• Coaching sessions provide a safe space to address concerns that might not fit into standard medical appointments
• Family members of cancer patients can also receive guidance on how best to support their loved ones
• Dr. Friend plans to expand services to include resources and networks for the cancer community
