Radiation oncologist, survivorship advocate, and cancer culture blogger Dr. Stacy Wentworth of Duke Cancer Institute delivers a thoughtful, interactive session on how patients and care partners can improve communication with their healthcare team.
Dr. Wentworth introduces the 7 Cs of Communication—Clear, Concise, Concrete, Correct, Coherent, Complete, and Courteous—and challenges attendees to actively prepare for appointments to get the most out of limited face time with providers.
She leads an engaging workshop on how to ask better questions, advocate for yourself with respect and clarity, and foster stronger collaboration with physicians, nurse navigators, and the wider care team. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or managing survivorship, this talk will help you build better, more confident conversations around your lung cancer care.
