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.
(the caregiver & the patient)
We're Scott & Patty
Together, we've learned that even in the middle of cancer, life continues. There are still decisions to make, relationships to strengthen, moments of joy to celebrate, and hope to hold onto. Along the way, we discovered something we wished had existed from the very beginning: honest conversations with people who had actually walked this road.
That's why we're here.
We don't tell people which path to take. We share our experiences so you can make the decisions that are right for your life.
We're glad you're here.
