23-11C AnnMarie McIlwain "Avoiding Woulda-Coulda-Shoulda Moments"

What you don't know can hurt you – never more so than following a cancer diagnosis. Private patient advocates find information you need to make decisions about care. Look to them for assistance with doctors, treatments, and insurance coverage. AnnMarie McIlwain, CEO of Patient Advocators, talks to the Advanced/Recurrent Support Group of the Prostate Forum about how patient advocates, whether personal or professional, can bring clarity , effectiveness, and determination to what is often a frightening and confusing time for prostate cancer patients. Prostate Forum of Orange County is a Southern California Prostate Cancer Support Group, with online (Zoom) meetings on the second and fourth Tuesday of most months, beginning at 5:00 p. Pacific Time.
