PAROLE-Onco - Personalized support for cancer

TO PEOPLE AFFECTED BY CANCER

If you have been diagnosed with cancer and want to talk to someone, you can receive personalized support from a companion from your health care team.

Companions in the PAROLE-Onco program are patients who have experienced cancer themselves and who have perspective about the disease. They have not only gone through the various steps of the care journey, but they also integrated this experience to provide empathetic, informed support to other patients.

Benefits:

  • Provide emotional support and create a trust zone 
  • Share expertise and listen to your concerns
  • Promote your involvement in your care
  • Popularize medical information 
  • Refer to cancer-related resources and information
  • Prepare for medical appointments 
  • Provide personalized support throughout the care journey
  • Raise the awareness of the clinical team to the realities of patients
