Have you or a loved one been diagnosed with cancer? Are you feeling overwhelmed, confused, or scared? Most people are when they hear the words “I’m sorry, but you have cancer.”
Contacting a cancer coach is likely the last thing on your already overburdened mind. Between the shock of diagnosis and comprehending all of the new medical jargon, the experience can be overwhelming. Compounding the problem is anxiety about treatment options, possible side effects and, well… wondering if the cancer is survivable!
This is why you may want to consider reaching out to a coach. No one can make informed decisions when they are operating out of fear. A cancer coach can help dispel that fear, to guide you during this most difficult time, and can make a huge difference.
The Role of the Cancer Coach
More often than not, cancer coaches have been through cancer themselves and have beaten it. They know, like no one else knows, all about the shock of diagnosis and the resulting stress. They have experienced firsthand the anxiety for the future and what it may hold, and what may lie ahead. Through their personal experiences and training, they have acquired skills to help others through the minefield that cancer can be.
While not an exhaustive list, here are 9 ways a cancer coach can help empower you to take control of your treatment and care:
- Assist the cancer patient through the shock of diagnosis
- Save the cancer patient time and effort doing research
- Teach the cancer patient some coping skills
- Be a skilled support person for the cancer patient
- Help the cancer patient formulate a healing plan
- Help the cancer patient set realistic goals
- Help the cancer patient cope with treatments and offer remedies for side effects, including ways to avoid the damaging effects of cancer treatments
- Educate the patient in natural ways to combat cancer
- Educate the patient how to minimize the chance of cancer recurrence and/or progression of the disease
1. The Shock of Diagnosis
Okay, you have cancer. Likely your mind is spinning out of control. Worry, anxiety, and fear become part of everyday living. A cancer coach is well practiced in helping you to understand your diagnosis (in many cases the over-worked oncologist doesn’t have time to do this properly). They can help you understand the treatments that have been prescribed for you, and explain why each treatment is being recommended. Your coach is there to dispel your fear and empower you to make educated decisions.
Perhaps you question the efficacy of the treatments prescribed, yet your objections fall on deaf ears. This can happen even if you have a good network of specialists such as oncologist, radiation oncologist, naturopath, or integrative oncologist, dietician, and/or psychological counselor. A cancer coach can help to bring all of these disciplines together. To unite the advice, to integrate, and to make sense of it all so that a holistic plan can be formulated.
2. Saving Time and Effort on Research
If you are like most people, once the initial shock of the diagnosis has worn off, you run to the internet. You proceed to spend hours upon hours doing research on every aspect of your type of cancer and the treatments recommended. Not only is this exhausting, but it is often not in your best interest. First of all, your time could be better utilized doing some very key things that will help you to begin to heal. You might want to use your time to start some stress-reduction activities such as meditation, massage, Reiki, or yoga.
Further, you will invariably come upon an online chat forum where people are discussing their own journey with cancer. While this might sound helpful, it can also be extremely scary to read. This can lead to endless and often unnecessary worry, and sometimes despair. You are an individual with cancer, and every case is different.
While doing some research can certainly be helpful, having your cancer coach do the bulk of it frees up hours of time and energy for you. There may also be options well beyond what you have heard from your medical team. What you may not realize is that much of what you hear from your allopathic medical team is given to you based on statistics − statistics that may or may not apply to you as an individual with cancer.
3. Learning Coping Skills
Fear and anxiety are to be expected. A cancer coach will help allay your fear and worries, both during the treatment phase and beyond. He or she will offer methods of coping with the anxiety of not knowing what the future may hold.
A coach will be there to support you and monitor how you are doing emotionally. They may offer assistance with meditation training and relaxation techniques, etc. Your coach will help you to release old emotional traumas and repressed emotions so that healing is not impeded.
4. Having a Support Person
Having access to a coach is a blessing that cannot be overestimated. When the worries, fears, and concerns are pressing down on you, knowing someone is there to answer your questions and guide you is worth its weight in gold.
Your coach is there to give hope… and there is always hope.
5. Formulating a Healing Plan
A cancer coach can assist you in formulating a customized healing plan. They will take into account your diet and other lifestyle factors, past health history, and the treatments you are considering, currently receiving or have already had.
By incorporating dietary changes, targeting supplements, stress reduction techniques, psychological counseling, and a whole host of other mind-body healing techniques, your coach will have a plan that fits you.
Just as each person is totally unique and different, the healing plan also differs from person to person. Each cancer has its own cause and needs its own remedy. In this way, the whole person is treated, not just a collection of rogue cancer cells.
6. Setting Realistic Goals
Often the cancer patient has no idea what to expect while going through treatments. It is the cancer coach’s expertise with regard to the usual side effects of those treatments that helps the patient to set realistic goals.
Knowing the road ahead, such as whether you will be able to continue working or playing sports, take a family holiday, or take on additional responsibilities can be extremely helpful.
7. Coping with Treatments and Side Effects
An experienced cancer coach has a collection of remedies that will help to combat (if not avoid entirely) the usual side effects from allopathic medical treatments. These side effects include (but are not limited to) mouth sores, nausea, nail loss, indigestion, constipation, radiation burns, and more.
Your coach will be able to share some very particular things that will help to alleviate these unpleasant problems, thus easing your discomfort and improving quality of life.
8. Learning to Combat Cancer Naturally
Cancer coaches are continually reading the latest research and attending conferences to stay abreast of options. They are knowledgeable about which foods, herbs, supplements, and natural healing treatments will effectively combat cancer cells and boost the immune system.
Cancer coaches work with cancer patients continuously, so not only do they read the research, they also have active experience with patients who have benefitted from a particular treatment or nutritional therapy. They know which natural therapies often work best and which ones are not as reliable, so they can help you save time, effort, and money.
9. Learning About Prevention
A cancer coach’s job is not over when treatment ends. Your coach is also there to educate you as to specific nutritional, herbal, and lifestyle changes that can be utilized to help prevent recurrence of the disease.
In the case of extremely advanced cancer cases, a coach is able, in many cases, to help the patient extend survival time and prepare for what lies ahead.
Certainly it is true that not everyone can be saved from the ravages of cancer. However, when using the services of a cancer coach, a patient is empowered with a huge amount of information he or she may not otherwise have received. And, in this cancer coach’s experience, empowered patients live longer and fare much better than those who simply follow their doctor’s orders.

This article was not helpful because it didn’t talk about how to go about finding a cancer coach.
I don’t quite understand. You are posting things that you don’t know who wrote them? If the article about cancer coaches is from someone who wants a fee, why didn’t they tell the reader how to contact him or other coaches? I will check into the website you put in the reply you sent me – thanks for replying so quickly. Feel free to comment again and respond to what I just wrote.
A Cancer Coach is a guy that is looking forward to jail for practicing medicine without a license. Why not just buy the DVD’s? Cancer has been curable for over 100 years. All the cancer industry is interested in is the money. No one has to die from cancer. There are very simple things that will stop cancer growth and in Chinese medicine and philosophy the attitude is to live with cancer. Cancer can be cured but, for poor people low cost items that are available will stop the growth..Some are 1000 years old. So now your thinking tell us tell us. No I do not want to be that guy on the way to jail. Whatever I would do will be done outside the United States. The FDA will prosecute if you are outside the US and solicit US citizens. The industry is not stupid they know that cancer is curable and they know the money will continue to flow for research of something that has been cured hundreds of years ago and people will run ,march, ride and donate for cancer. Wake up America.
So why did “The Truth About Cancer” send an email by Marnie Clark about Cancer Coaches? Sounds like now you are disputing what you sent. The article sounded pretty legitimate including natural ways to treat cancer like they’re not necessarily from the established medical community which I feel “The Truth About Cancer” is warning us against in general. I am still confused, especially about you printing something and then disputing it.
Hi Patti,
Our intention with this article is simply to explain what a Cancer Coach does. It is not necessarily to endorse or direct people to Cancer Coaches, but to provide helpful background information for anyone who may be considering such a service (or who weren’t aware that such a service does exist, but may be interested in learning more). A Cancer Coach, as described in this article, is usually someone from outside of the conventional medical establishment.
I have cancer in the lymph node in the neck, and toncil, I am refusing chemo and radiation , I am 82 , but good heart and lungs, I have been to a clensing clinic, and on a made up diet, but would like to be advised as to what is right and wrong, to take , can you help me, thank you , fred plews,
Sounds like a waste of money in many areas. “pay for a Pal’. Women are taught to “fight a courageous battle” instead of being taught to kick Cancer’s ass. They are given the wrong diet( the Food Pyramid) and the wrong exercise programs. Now here’s why…..Long term double blind studies done in Europe( their standards are higher than ours) with 50-50 patients conclusively showed that people who were aggressive about their maladies had a Significantly higher survival rate than those who were passive…..The Food pyramid is the opposite of what you should be eating. You should have very high levels of protein, about 25% of your calories from fat( monounsaturated and Essential fats predominate) and the rest in lower glycemic carbs. This diet will increase protein synthesis while increasing Hormone levels and stabilizing blood sugars……The proper exercises include strength training and hi intensity aerobics. Those long slow walks chatting actually INCREASE Osteoporosis while lowering your metabolic rate and immune system……..The “Woman’s way” actually DECREASES your survival rate…….
Most curious @MarkKelly above… Would you suggest this sort daily dietary intake even to an individual with a hormone receptor positive cancer diagnosis??
I have been a Registered Nurse for 36 yrs and have specialized in chronic disease management and hospice. For many, to receive the diagnosis of cancer is devastating and overwhelming. Many people do not have family or friend support and even if they do, often they do not know how to ask for help or are willing to ask for help. There are many layers to process in receiving this type of diagnosis which include mental, emotional, spiritual and physical. Coaches can manifest in many forms to offer companionship, compassion, warmth and to provide one with a sense of human dignity that no web site ever can or ever will. Coaches, as are nurses, are first and foremost the ‘patient advocate’ and for that to happen successfully a mutual human bond needs to be established which can take time d/t trust issues. Information on the internet can become a ‘one size fits all’ and does not take into consideration a person’s individuality or even their multidimensional histories including their culture and upbringing. Would I pay a coach who embodied all of the above? In a heart beat, yes.
Tough crowd. I think that the article is informative and the title is appropriate for the text in the body. The title wasn’t “How to find a Cancer Coach”. I think it’s likely that many persons that receive a cancer diagnosis are surprised, shocked, and scared. At the same time, while receiving a diagnosis, there is extreme pressure to begin treatment via western medical methods. In my opinion, finding a skilled support person would be extremely valuable for those that are overwhelmed, exhausted, confused, and paralyzed by fear. Of the 9 items mentioned in this article, I don’t think that medical doctors would address very many if any of them well and in the best interests of the patient. Additionally, a lay person under the stress of a diagnosis may not have all their faculties available to them to do all of this on their own, and many people don’t have a support system capable of taking care of this list either. I think the article was informative and helpful. It suggests empowerment, which is what TTAC is about.
Coaching, often times for Cancer and I have been through my own healing, and did not use Allopathic medicine. I am 54, almost 55, and my business is way more than a coach, but coaching is part of it. I am $75 per hour, I put that up front. Listening, offering suggestions for health, using food as medicine, lifestyle changes, gentle exercise when applicable, I am highly intuitive and in my physical business in Minnesota of 13 years I offer bodywork, massage, wellness consultations 3 days per week and the others, I do phone consultations, loving, hand holding, coaching by offering real solutions for real people. I have also taught thyroid workshops and long followed the work of several of the doctors on The Truth About Cancer DVD series, which I highly recommend to all my clients. I have a published book: My Side of The Table: Memoirs of an Intuitive Healer by Seera Wolf (pen name) and I have taught scores of classes since being raw foods trained in 1989, including juice feasting, intro to raw foods, raw feeding your dogs and cats, and have a lot of healing info, daily study, and practice. Know thyself; Heal Thyself. Working on my new website launch soon.
Karen, I am interested in your new website and your valuable experiences when available. I am a current stage 4 colon cancer (metastatic to liver and lung) SURVIVOR now cancer free for 6 months, original diagnosis aug 1 2013. Great post by you and well articulated. It can be done and will be done!
Jay in Texas
Jay, I just had a friend receive this diagnosis. What did you do to become cancer free?
Jack ie
Fred Plews,
There are many treatments for many different types of cancer.
Go to this site.
Stop eating all sugar and simple carbs immediately.
I would start with lemon and baking soda in warm water 30 minutes before or 2 hrs after meals.
TheTruthAboutCancer.com
You’ll find the info you need.
My prayers are with you!!????????????????????
There are two schools of thought on cancer. One says there are different types of cancer. The other says only one. They base the different types on location. I am of the one type because a cancer cell is a cancer cell. Baking soda is a one thousand year old cure for cancer if you research ancient medical document. you will find more than that. Cancer has been curable for over one hundred years. Refer to John Beard. Cancer is a natural event. Nature designs it to remove the weak from the herd. It will form where there is a weakness either physical or mental stress. Modern medicine and doctors have failed. The results are 50 50 or less. Your diet is critical to avoiding cancer and curing cancer. Toxins such as smoking clearly injures the immune system. Yet people still smoke around the world and the millions flow to the tobacco companies.. Over weight is also related to cancer, heart disease and people still run around fat eating carcinogenic foods. How about a Bar B Q lets burn that fat and turn it in to cancer. Or drink Fluoride which is rat poison which shows a 10% increase in cancer where it is used in water. Good idea let drink rat poison especially the young. Do you read the warning on the tooth paste tube.? Most doctors have no idea why they give pills. They do not know history. They do not know how the second version of medicine was knocked out by the drug companies. If you do not know history you are etc. What is more foolish in view of all the facts they will not listen and depend on Doctors who kill thousands of people a year and generally live shorter than their patients. Feel lucky if your doctor says there is nothing more I can do. So now your will look for another answer and that answer is there. There are 100 cures for cancer that work and have worked for a thousand years, but will are not patented. Not patent no money no cure. Do your home work watch your food. 60% of our medications are from plants. If you have cancer you are the cause if you do not recover you are the cause and the reason is you did not do your home work and you depended on a group that cannot cure cancer. None of them have cued cancer. However, there are doctors that will step up and aside from the threat of losing their license. Find that doctor.
Chemo therapy is poison, low dose should be used and forever in Europe they match the cancer to the chemo and it work. In the US it is a shot gun approach. Slowly, the word is getting out. Do not go down that road alone and read a book and try it. Find someone that knows something that has recovered, do you home work. Breath O2 every day at least two hours one morning one at night. Learn what cancer cannot live with.
Learn learn learn. There are no secrets all the information is available to you. Ask Dr. Google. You can stop cancers growth with cheap in the store herbs and increasing your pH. Ignore what you read at your risk. I have seen millionaire and billionaires die because they would not listen.
Organic food is suppose to correct the toxin danger and GMO’s. but they do not give you any more nutrition because the soil is depleted. Look for hydroponic foods that also offer a lab report on what is in them. Today if you ate an orange compared to 1975 you would need to eat eight oranges to get the same nutrition. Take all forms of sugar out of your diet. sugar is cancers food.. Some oncologist has candy in the waiting room run from those assholes. Do not believe anyone do your research and you will learn no one has to die of cancer.
What method should be used to breathe O2 every day at least two hours, one morning, and one at night?
I used an oxygen generator which I purchased used.. There are several systems available
Is that the same as being on oxygen like my 92 year old mother is on all the time with the tubes in the nostrils (and that they put you on whenever you are in the hospital)? What good does that do if your oxygen is already in the 90’s? I thought oxygen or ozone therapy was something different whose purpose was something beyond getting your oxygen in the 90’s.
I am an after cancer coach and I wish we had access to a health coach in 1999! Coaches are not meant to replace medical professionals, they are meant to be a supportive, accountability resource. When my husband beat stage IV cancer the doctors said his cancer would come back. That time was almost more difficult than having cancer. During the battle you have a team of doctors guiding you, family and friends that want to cook for you, drive your kids to school and walk your dog BUT when you go into remission all that ends. Life is supposed to go back to “normal”. With the exception of follow-up scans, you are on your own to deal with the physical and emotional aftermath, not to mention the fear of reoccurrence. Taking ownership of your health (like The Truth About Cancer teaches) is the only way to go. It has been 16 years and my husband has remained cancer free and now I coach cancer survivors on how to live a vibrant life after cancer all around the country.
I have to add that there are nurses and doctors who work in a capacity to assist people with cancer in navigating the system. The TTAC videos are wonderful. However, it often takes a one-on-one approach and personalized help to answer questions, investigate treatments and discuss all of this openly. Some often need assistance with dietary needs, that possibly are not being met. There are some who do this (with a license). There are some who are not licensed, but rather have been through the system already (yes, cancer patients and their caretakers), and they merely know what does and does not work, for them. They are not prescribing. They are assisting, as a friend would, or possibly in the cxase of a nurse navigator, in a professional capacity. All advice is welcomed advice when someone has cancer! Ultimately, it is the patient’s choice. But I can assure you, the more research and help they have, the better the outcome.
I agree that this is a tough crowd! I was reading this article with a great deal of interest because I think this is something I would like to do. The reality is that 99% of people at least will choose conventional cancer care but all would benefit from using complementary therapies and I could help them with that. I’ve done nothing but research in the 2-1/2 years since I got my breast cancer dx and I’ve done nothing but holistic care for it and I still have it but it’s not growing and I’m in fantastic health now, well except for the tumor that is. . . However, I’ve had so many positive comments from the few people I’ve even told about this that I believe I’d be a good coach. How does one go about getting started? Would they even trust the advice of someone who hasn’t “kicked cancer’s butt” yet?
There are groups listed that meet nation wide to support, educate and help others beat cancer and other health issues naturally. I went to my first group meeting the other week and the two leaders running the group beat cancer using natural protocols.
The Real Problem I See Is people dying because they run out of time and resources. They need to do so much research to find what MAY work and as they get weaker and weaker they lose the battle. Just to weed through the Internet would take many months for a strong person let alone a weak compromised individual. It’s a battle of time that many lose.
This is for Stephanie- Yes! Follow your instincts and the feed back you receive from others re that you would be a great coach regardless of cont to have cancer. There is a site called beatcancer.org that trains people both lay and professional to be cancer coaches. I believe it is around $500.00 for the course yet it is chock full of info and on how to get started being a coach. I went to hear the founder speak and she is very inspiring. She lost her young husband to cancer right after they had twins. She was a young wife and mother then with no degrees behind her name other then experiencing a profound loss that could have been prevented had she and her husband known there were other alternative methods to cure him. As stated above, keep in mind that we all have a different set of chromosomes and finger prints…not one-size fits all re tx. I wish you well and GO FOR IT!
Anthony, I do not believe that is the problem because for simple inexpensive herbs they can stop cancer growth and because they have been scammed by the system they die with faith in their DR.
Exactly – people don’t have the time when they receive a diagnosis, nor the experience to decipher through all the material ‘out there.’ I have spent nearly daily for over thirty years looking into natural healing, and, I’ve overcome a diagnosis in 2008 for ovarian cancer based upon a CA 125 and CT Scan. I have figured out how the body heals itself by working with body, mind and spirit. Food as medicine, lifestyle, exercise, sleep, restoration of circadian cycles, earthing, water, a few supplements, and the coaching by a Mind Body Expert is the work that I do as a Cancer Coach, but really I would never call myself this exclusively as all disease is in The Field, it is in our energetic field and then it later becomes stationed into matter; into the density of tissue and matter. It’s all cell distortion and it all starts in the MIND first.
I’ve had experiences with many labels of dis/ease; lack of eases.
I was fortunate and I also was diligent to spend the money, the time and the dedication to attend herbal school, Ayurveda instruction, massage school, Jyotish, yoga teacher training, raw foods training (1989), and have taught scores of classes in juice feasting and more!
I have taught much of what is in this program that relates to healing naturally for decades now and of course, I’ve seen all kinds of resistance, fear based, to thinking I was a fraud taking people’s money? The body seeks to heal itself if given the tools: time and nature.

Does anyone know a trustworthy coach in FL? Little girl with stage 4 brain tumor. No time for research- we need help now!
Ketogenic diet has been successful with brain tumors. charliefoundation.org/ketogenic-therapy/therapies-2/brain-tumor-cancer
Coaches use Skype and also phone to help successfully; I do. http://www.naturallywithkaren.com I use food as medicine; plant-based diet, lifestyle, energy, intuition, and have plenty of testimonials on my website. As for the post above about cancers, Dr. Brownstein highly suggests iodine.
I was very recently diagnosed with breast cancer. I don’t know what stage but it has done metastasis to a linf node. I will see a surgeon in 2 days. All of the information I’ve seen here is amazing but I’m not sure what to do exactly. I went to a bookstore today to get books about fighting cancer naturally but I felt overwhelmed and confused as some diets promote certain foods while others condemn it. Of there’s anyone that can point me in the right direction I will be most grateful.
I do Cancer Coaching and have for many years, involved in healing works for decades, 31 year Vegan and juicer with intuitive and practical skills.
http://www.naturallywithkaren.com – you can peruse my website and contact me if you wish to. Many of my clients are by telephone or Skype. I help clients who both use and do not use Western Allopathic medicine.
Suzanne is there any way we can get in touch with you?
I would like specific information on where to go or who to contact for clove oil treatment and other treatments for breast cancer.. so far in everything I’ve found there are no answers.
cancerharbors.com is a different approach. An alternative, so to speak, to some of the misinformation. Developed by a nurse and educator. Read through the website and check it out. There are too many people out there practicing medicine without a license, including some of the comments above. Cancer Harbors educates survivors, patients, caregivers, even healthcare providers, in how to interpret and understand the over abundance of information out there, gives practical support and builds skills in self-care and health literacy.
I have stage 4 colon cancer (metastatic to my lung) that was diagnosed in November of 2013. I had chemo and surgery. Since then I’ve dramatically changed my diet. I cut out sugar, red meat etc. and ate fruits and vegetables mostly. In June of 2016 a scan revealed more tumor growth in the same lung but now also in my other lung and liver. I immediately went on the Budwig protocol and have been following it very closely. My oncologist has agreed to work with me as I try this path and continues to see me and orders blood work for me. I began this protocol in July but today’s blood work results showed my tumor markers to continue to rise. I’m going to see my oncologist again today and plan on telling him that I will continue to stay my current course. Do any of you have any feedback for me?
Thanks Jim
Hi Jim
I recommend reading the book “Anti cancer – a new way of life” by David Servan-Schreiber – he talks about a number of ways to overcome cancer, all of which I used to recover from 3 types of cancer in 1987.
Complementary therapies which provide healing are very effective and include important factors such as nutrition, physical activity, relaxation, and stress management.
I believe that the mind-body connection is one of the main factors that helps me to be well and Neuroscience is starting to prove how the brain and body are changed with positive attitude and self talk.
I wish you well Jim.
I have many years of experience helping people reverse disease as a Coach.
I am a Cancer Coach for decades Naturally With Karen on Facebook, or, http://www.naturallywithkaren.com

Infertility, thyroid issues, building strength. I have asked to be featured on Truth About Cancer, who knows? Maybe I’ll be interviewed. Be well. 🙂
How do you find no cancer coaches when you need one? I love all of the information here but it’s so overwhelming. And most importantly, How do I find these doctors that treat cancer the natural way?
Hi Jamie,
Here is a list of doctors that we interviewed in our Global Quest series: https://thetruthaboutcancer.com/experts-info-sheet/
Hopefully that helps you to find a holistic doctor to help you heal your cancer naturally.
Is there a cancer coach program or certification you would recommend?
Hi Robin,
We don’t have a specific cancer coach program that we recommend. Best wishes!
How do I find a good cancer coach in Bergen County NJ?

Jim hi , I am a cancer surviver although I lost 2 of my parents who died because they were diagnoesd too late. I just wanted to share with you that there are ways to stimulate the immune system and therapies who enable that like Gerson therapy for example. Also the condition of our mind is so important as if we are in fear our organism is receiving it as extra toxins which is not helping the healing process so getting support of a cancer coach could be a good idea. All the best on your healing journey! Jo
