Welcome to
Foundation Package
Clarity, Support, and Guidance Delivered to Your Inbox
Some Days You Don't Have the Energy for a Phone Call.
You Still Deserve Support.
Email coaching is a powerful, flexible, and deeply reflective way to receive life-changing support without the stress of scheduling live sessions. It gives you the space to write, process, and receive personalized insight exactly when you need it.
With the Foundation Package, you'll experience a dynamic coaching relationship through written dialogue. We will respond to your messages with scientific clarity, strategic guidance, and emotional depth. You'll hear back 3 to 5 times per week, keeping you aligned, focused, and empowered throughout your week.
What Email Coaching Actually Is
Email coaching is a real, substantive coaching relationship conducted entirely through written exchanges. It's not a chatbot. It's not a template response. It's not generic advice copy-pasted into your inbox.
Every response comes from us personally. We read what you write carefully, sit with it, and respond with the same depth and attention we bring to any coaching relationship. We ask powerful questions that help you think more clearly. We reflect back what we're hearing. We offer frameworks that help you organize overwhelming thoughts. We partner with you through whatever you're navigating right now.
For cancer patients and caregivers, written coaching often works even better than live sessions. You have time to gather your thoughts before you write. You can re-read my responses when you need them most. You don't have to show up to a video call on the hardest days. You have a record of your progress, your insights, and your growth.
Many people find they're more honest in writing than they are out loud. That honesty is where real transformation begins.
Who This Is For
We created this service specifically with cancer patients and their caregivers in mind, because we know what your schedule looks like. We know the fatigue. We know the way cancer reshapes every hour of every day. We know that "just book a session" isn't always a realistic answer.
This service works well for cancer patients in active treatment who want consistent support between appointments. It also works for people who were just diagnosed and are trying to process the shock before they're ready for deeper work. Caregivers who are exhausted, scared, and silently struggling find it especially valuable, because email gives them a private space to be honest without worrying about burdening the person they're caring for.
People with busy or unpredictable schedules use email coaching when they can't commit to a weekly time slot. Anyone who processes better through writing than through talking finds this format natural and effective. It's also a meaningful first step for people who are curious about coaching but not yet ready for a full program.
Wherever you are in the cancer journey, this gives you a place to think, process, and move forward.
What's Included in the Foundation Package
The Foundation Package is designed to give you consistent, meaningful coaching support without overwhelming you.
When you enroll, we send you a personalized welcome message with specific prompts to help you share where you are right now and what you most want to focus on during our work together. This isn't a generic onboarding form. We write it to you, as a person, based on whatever you've shared about your situation.
From there, we set weekly goals together. These are goals that are meaningful to you and realistic given what you're going through. We don't set aspirational targets that leave you feeling worse about yourself when life gets hard. We set honest, achievable intentions that actually move you forward.
Throughout each week, you can send us one email per day. We respond within 24 to 48 hours, three to five times each week, depending on what we've agreed on. Our responses are personal, thoughtful, and grounded in both cancer research and coaching methodology. You'll receive scientific clarity when you have questions about your situation, strategic guidance when you're facing decisions, and emotional depth when you just need someone to truly understand what you're carrying.
You can write about anything that's relevant to your journey. A difficult conversation with your oncologist that left you confused. Fear that's been sitting in your chest for days. A treatment decision you're struggling to make. A moment of grief that came out of nowhere. Caregiver burnout you haven't been able to admit out loud. The strange guilt of having a good day. I read all of it with care and respond with honesty.
Why Writing Changes Things
There's something that happens when you put your experience into words on a page. Thoughts that feel overwhelming and tangled when they're in your head start to organize themselves as you write. Fears that felt unspeakable become speakable. Questions you didn't know you had start to surface.
Writing is processing. And processing is the beginning of clarity.
We've seen this happen over and over with cancer patients and caregivers. Someone starts an email trying to ask a question and discovers, in the writing of it, what they actually need. Someone writes about being afraid and finds, in articulating that fear, that it becomes smaller and less controlling.
When we respond, We're not just answering your question. We're asking the next question, the one underneath the one you asked. We're reflecting back what we notice in how you're writing, not just what you're saying. We're offering a new way to look at something you've been staring at too closely to see clearly.
That's coaching. And it translates into writing beautifully.
Behind the Screen: The Real Human Reading Your Words
It is incredibly easy to turn to a screen when anxiety spikes at midnight, or right after a heavy doctor's appointment when you just need someone to listen. While automated tools can spit out quick facts to fill the silence, they simply cannot offer what a trained coach does.
Here is what actually happens when you reach out to us: a real person sits down and reads your message. All of it.
We aren't just scanning for keywords. We are listening to what you're saying, and often, what you're holding back. If you mention your mother three times but avoid discussing how that relationship is affecting you right now, we notice. We can feel the difference between a message driven by sudden panic and one written from a place of exhaustion, and we know those two mindsets require entirely different support. We remember the details you shared weeks ago and connect them to today's conversation. We weigh your specific cancer type, your treatment history, your personal goals, and your emotional tone before we write a single word back.
Technology relies on patterns. It has no memory of your unique journey and no real understanding of your life beyond the text in a single chat box. It cannot read between the lines, sense when you are minimizing your own pain, or ask that one pivotal question that only comes from deep, sustained listening.
When you confess that you are terrified your cancer will return, that your marriage is cracking under the stress of a diagnosis, or that as a caregiver, you're struggling with quiet resentment: you are trusting us with your most vulnerable truths. That level of honesty demands a human response. It deserves someone who has sat beside hundreds of patients and caregivers and truly understands the heavy emotional lifting you are doing every day.
Because these conversations are so deeply personal, your digital safety is just as important as the coaching itself. Every exchange happens strictly within our HIPAA-compliant private portal, not a standard email inbox. Your health details, family dynamics, and deepest fears are fully encrypted and kept entirely off third-party servers. You need a space where you feel completely safe to open up, and we make sure you have it.
This blend of genuine connection and absolute security is what sets Cancerosion apart from wellness apps and general information services. We aren't an instant-reply algorithm. We aren't awake at 3:00 AM. But when we do respond, we are real, present, qualified, and completely invested in your journey.
When you open a message in your portal, you can know for certain: a real person wrote this just for you, considering your specific words and exactly what you need in this moment. When the stakes are this high, that is the only kind of support worth having.
This Is Coaching, Not Medical Advice
We want to be direct about this, because it matters.
Everything we offer through email coaching follows International Coaching Federation (ICF) ethical guidelines. We're your thought partner, not your medical advisor. We don't tell you which treatment to choose. We don't interpret your lab results. We don't give dietary or medical recommendations. We don't diagnose or treat anything.
What we do is help you think more clearly about what matters to you, explore your options from a values-based perspective, prepare for difficult conversations with your medical team, process the emotional and psychological weight of what you're going through, and develop the clarity and confidence to make decisions that feel right for you.
We ask powerful questions. We partner with you in discovery. We help you access your own wisdom. The answers you find through our exchanges come from you, not from us. That's what makes them sustainable.
If you're dealing with clinical depression, severe anxiety, trauma, or other mental health concerns, please also work with a licensed mental health professional. Coaching complements therapy but doesn't replace it.
A Free Exchange, No Strings Attached
We want you to experience this before you commit to anything.
Send us your most pressing question, your most difficult decision, or your heaviest worry right now. We'll respond with a full coaching reply, the kind that gives you a real insight, a new perspective, and a clear next step. No templates. No auto-replies. No pitch at the end.
If it helps, you can continue with the Foundation Package. If the timing isn't right, that's fine too. You still get something genuinely useful from a single exchange.
You can send your free email directly to: hello@cancerosion.org with the subject line "Email Coaching."
What You Can Expect From Our Responses
This might be the most important thing we can tell you about how we approach email coaching.
We don't write responses that read like a coaching textbook. We write to you as a person. We write with honesty, warmth, and sometimes even humor when it's appropriate. We're direct when you need directness. We're gentle when you need gentleness. We tell you when we think you're being too hard on yourself. We don't pretend the situation isn't as difficult as it is. We also don't let fear become the dominant voice in our conversation.
Our responses tend to do several things at once. They acknowledge what you wrote without judgment. They ask at least one question that opens something up for you. They offer a framework or perspective that might help you see things differently. They give you something actionable, something you can actually do or think about before your next email. And they do all of this in plain, honest, human language, not corporate wellness speak.
You'll know within the first exchange whether this feels right for you.
One More Thing
A lot of people who reach out to Cancerosion tell us the same thing: "I didn't think I could afford support right now." Or "I didn't think I had the energy." Or "I didn't know this kind of thing existed."
Email coaching was designed with exactly those people in mind.
You don't have to be high-functioning to use it. You don't have to have your thoughts organized before you write. You don't have to perform wellness or strength. You just have to write something honest, and I'll write something useful back.
You've been carrying a lot. You deserve a place to put some of it down.
Send your question, your worry, or whatever is sitting heaviest on you right now.
