Will this guide work for me if I’m not a cancer survivor?
Absolutely! While the guide is designed with cancer survivors in mind, it’s also perfect for anyone who wants a more proactive approach to their health.
Will this help me get my doctor to order these labs?
Of course, I can’t guarantee that your doctor will order every test. Plus, many lab orders depend on insurance policies and individual provider decisions (check with your insurance on coverage!).
However, this guide is designed to equip you with the knowledge and confidence to have a productive conversation with your physician.
You’ll Learn:
How to explain why you want these tests and how they relate to your health concerns.
Key talking points to advocate for yourself.
Alternative options to get tested—whether through self-order labs or direct-to-consumer options—if your doctor won’t or can’t order them.
Bottom line: This guide helps you take control of your health—so you’re no longer relying solely on what’s “routinely” ordered.
