Welcome

Whether you're living with cancer or walking beside someone who is, you're welcome here.

Life Between Scans began with a simple realization. There was no shortage of information, treatment recommendations, or statistics. Doctors, nurses, and trusted organizations helped us understand the disease. What was missing were honest conversations with people who had actually lived through cancer. We wanted someone to talk to.

When we couldn't find them, we decided to become them.

We're Scott & Patty

Cancer has been part of our lives in one way or another for decades. Since Scott’s diagnosis in 2017, we’ve experienced it from two very different chairs, through surgery, recovery, recurrence, treatment, caregiving, difficult decisions, clinical trials and the uncertainty that comes with all of it.

Along the way, we discovered how valuable it can be to hear from people willing to share what an experience was actually like for them.

That’s why we created Life Between Scans.

We share experiences, not prescriptions. We hope that hearing what we’ve lived and learned can help you consider what matters most in your own life.
