People Against Cancer Annual Sustaining Membership
The goal of The Alternative Therapy Program
is to provide treatment options for people with cancer. Our aim is to answer the complex questions about treatment alternatives. What therapy might be best? What approach might offer the best chances for survival and quality of life?
We feel it is important to understand all
options from conventional cancer treatment to alternative treatment to new and innovative forms of treatment in order for people to make truly informed decisions
about treatment. We believe people with cancer have very fundamental rights -- the right to know and the right to choose.
We provide information about cancer treatment options. We have developed the International Physicians Network (IPN)
to review patient records and provide recommendations for treatment options. Only physicians and researchers who have provided People Against Cancer
with valid data about their treatments and results have been included in the International Physicians Network (IPN). Through the Network, we put all vital medical records from people with cancer directly into the hands of physicians and researchers in the United States and throughout the world for their recommendations. To our knowledge, People Against Cancer
is the only
organization in the world providing such a program.
There are 4 simple steps in The Alternative Therapy Program:
To access The Alternative Therapy Program, we ask that individuals first Join People Against Cancer
as Sustaining Members. The sole purpose of joining People Against Cancer
is support The Alternative Therapy Program
and provide members with current and relevent cancer information. After joining, we ask that individuals then fill out a copy of our Medical History Questionnaire
(which is located on the People Against Cancer website) and provide us with photocopies of all medical records from the time of diagnosis to the present. You will also need our Medical Records Release Form
(which is located on the People Against Cancer website) to send to your physicians so the records can be sent to People Against Cancer. All information will be kept private and used for the sole purpose of finding the person with cancer the best treatment options.
The Medical History Questionnaire
(which is located on the People Against Cancer website) and select medical records are then faxed by People Against Cancer
to select physicians and researchers in People Against Cancer's International Physicians Network (IPN). Those that feel they can help will respond and provide their recommendations to People Against Cancer.
After five working days, a personalized written report based on the recommendations received by physicians in the International Physicians Network
will be prepared by People Against Cancer
and sent to the person with cancer via priority mail.
Then we ask the person with cancer to call People Against Cancer
at 515-972-4444 and schedule an appointment for a telephone consultation to discuss further the details of the personalized report and to ask questions they may have.
People Against Cancer
is not financially affiliated with any specific physician or clinic. We do not receive referral fees from anyone treating cancer. We are completely independent and act as the advocate of people with cancer. We have, however, developed this program, The Alternative Therapy Program, through which we seek funding to scientifically evaluate promising alternative therapies. We do not diagnose, prescribe or make treatment recommendations -- we provide options.
We educate people with cancer with unbiased information in order to direct them toward making informed choices.
Throughout The Alternative Therapy Program
it is the choice of the person with cancer on whether or not he or she wishes to involve his or her physician with the process. Although People Against Cancer
does not require that the person with cancer consults his or her physician before going through The Alternative Therapy Program, it is the recommendation of People Against Cancer
that the person with cancer involves his or her physician or another knowledgeable person in order that personal support may be provided throughout the whole process and in order to allow the person with cancer to feel an ease of mind knowing that someone else was part of the process and will be able to help him or her with using the knowledge they gained from The Alternative Therapy Program
in the most beneficial way.
The cost of Sustaining Membership is $450 USD. This helps us to cover the significant costs of operating The Alternative Therapy Program. In addition to our Alternative Therapy Program, which includes the detailed written report and follow-up consultation, Sustaining Members will receive continued access for questions they may have.
