The Notebook Guide and “You Can Do This” Sticker
This took 10 years to create.
With over 180 patients, oncologists, nurses, medical experts, caregivers, and tested across 25 clinics, the Dandelion Toolkit® makes a cancer diagnosis easier to understand using the visual metaphor of a dandelion to explain staging, pathology, subtype, and treatment options.
The Notebook contains over 100 pages that are designed to organize your diagnosis and treatment into easy-to-read sections that are fully illustrated. Inside the Notebook are blank spaces to fill in with your care team to ensure that key conversations are covered, along with room to make notes and organize medications, physical therapy, and more.
Patients have said this Toolkit made all the difference in being able to understand why certain treatments were recommended over others, and made it easier to share their diagnosis with others.
There are two versions available: Stages 0-3, and a Stage 4 Metastatic version.
