Hi everybody, it's Gabby from Understood Care. I wanted to come on today and touch on the big C.

As your doctor told you that there's a possibility, have you heard the words precancerous? Whenever anybody of any age hears this word, it's always instant panic, instant anxiety, and that is a normal reaction for anyone faced with fighting this disease. But you have a lot, a lot of options out there.

You don't have to walk this walk alone. At Understood Care, how we can help you kind of navigate through this disease process and treatment would be coordinating specialty visits, coordinating your treatments, whether it be chemo, radiation, vitamin infusions.

We can help with finding new support groups. We can help with transportation.

If you're too weak or too sick to drive, we can help by being a voice on the other end of the line when you feel like the anxiety is taking over because your life is completely different now. We can make sure that your treatments are tailored exactly to the DNA breakdown of the type of cancer that you have.

There's a lot that we can do so that you can realize that you're not walking alone and you have people standing beside you while you go through this journey, whether you choose treatment or not.
