It’s a 3-ring binder divided into six important sections for ease of information access when you need it.

1. My Personal Details – helps you keep track of your personal information, family history, any medications you are on.
2. Calendars And Logs – helps you keep track of appointments, monthly and annual calendars as well as activities that you want to journal.  Additionally, it provides a centralized location for logging appointments, organizing questions, and recording outcomes.
3. My Test Results – reinforces your need and helps you track your own medical records.  Including reports and lab results from scans, exams, and x-rays.
4. From My Health Care Team – provides a place to store all the information you receive about your diagnosis, treatment plan, potential side effects, and care management.  Also, keep all your health care team contact info here.
5. Resources – Hope In A Bag includes several booklets from reliable cancer organizations.  And these will help you better cope with your recent cancer diagnosis.
