Cancer Treatment Coaching
with Dr. Tirgan
Why Do Patients Need Cancer Coaching?
Navigating a cancer diagnosis has become increasingly difficult in today’s healthcare environment. Due to the nationwide shortage of oncologists, many patients have limited time with their cancer doctors—or may not even see an oncologist at all during some visits. Instead, they are often seen by nurse practitioners or physician assistants who may not have the same depth of oncology training or experience.
As a result, important details can be overlooked. Treatment options may not be fully explained, imaging results may not be reviewed thoroughly, and patients may leave appointments feeling confused or unsure about their next steps.
Worse yet, when important details are ignored or subtle clinical clues are missed, the consequences can be serious. A poor outcome may occur, valuable time can be lost, and in some cases, damage may be done that is difficult—or even impossible—to reverse. Careful attention to detail is essential in cancer care, and this is precisely why having an experienced oncologist who is on your side can make a meaningful difference in our overall plan of care.
Dr. Michael H. Tirgan has personally witnessed countless cases where critical details were missed—errors in diagnosis, incorrect staging, inappropriate treatment plans, or crucial information never communicated to the patient. These lapses can happen not because of lack of caring, but because oncologists today are stretched far too thin.
CancerCoach212 was created to fill this gap by providing patients with time, attention, and expertise—ensuring that every detail is examined and every question is answered.
