Online tool helps narrow down treatment options for breast cancer

BY MELISSA WEBER | NOVEMBER 19, 2009

My Breast Cancer Coach is pretty straightforward: Answer a handful of questions about your type of breast cancer and in return you get a personalized report of treatment options to talk over with your doctor.

The online tool has been available for over a year, but it recently re-launched with some new features, including information for stage 0 patients, a podcast series, and a "Get Answers" page that offers Q&As with experts.

Created by the nonprofits Breastcancer.org and Breast Cancer Network of Strength as well as the life science company Genomic Health (it markets the Oncotype DX breast cancer test), My Breast Cancer Coach also offers a glossary and a list of questions to ask your doctor.
