Welcome to
The Informed Hope Project
Your 15-Day Journey from Diagnosis to Clarity
When Everything Changes in an Instant, You Need More Than Information. You Need a Partner.
A cancer diagnosis doesn't just change your medical reality. It changes everything. Your plans. Your priorities. Your sense of certainty about the future.
In those first overwhelming weeks, you're flooded with medical terminology, treatment options, statistics, and opinions. Everyone seems to have answers for you. But here's what most newly diagnosed patients tell us they really need:
Someone to help them find their own answers.
That's where The Informed Hope Project begins.
What Makes This Different: ICF-Aligned Coaching That Honors Your Wisdom
The Informed Hope Project is grounded in the rigorous standards and ethics of the International Coaching Federation (ICF), the gold standard for professional coaching worldwide.
What does this mean for you?
We don't give you advice. Instead, we partner with you to discover the clarity that already exists within you.
We don't tell you what to do. We ask powerful questions that help you uncover what matters most to you.
We don't impose our agenda. We follow yours, helping you explore your values, priorities, and vision for your journey ahead.
We hold the space for your discovery. Through structured, confidential sessions, we create a safe environment where you can think deeply, feel fully, and decide confidently.
This isn't about us having the answers. It's about empowering you to access your own inner knowing, combine it with the medical information you're receiving, and make decisions that truly align with who you are.
The Science of Coaching: Why Partnership Works Better Than Advice
Research consistently shows that people are more committed to decisions they arrive at themselves. When you discover your own path forward rather than being told what to do, you:
-
Feel more confident in your choices
-
Experience greater clarity about your priorities
-
Maintain a stronger sense of agency and control
-
Navigate challenges with more resilience
-
Stay aligned with your core values under pressure
As your coach, my role is to be your thought partner, not your decision-maker. I bring my expertise in biology, cancer research, and coaching methodology. You bring your expertise on your life, your body, your values, and your vision.
Together, we create the clarity you need to move forward.

Help you identify what information you need to make informed choices

Create space between stimulus and response so you can show up powerfully in medical appointments

Discover your own sources of strength and courage

The ICF Code of Ethics: What You Can Expect
As an ICF-aligned coach, I adhere to strict ethical standards:
Confidentiality: Everything we discuss remains completely confidential (with legal exceptions only for harm to self or others).
No Dual Relationships: Our coaching relationship has clear boundaries to protect your best interests.
Professional Competence: I maintain ongoing training and stay current with both coaching methodology and cancer research.
Client Autonomy: You are always in charge of your choices. I will never pressure you toward any decision.
Honest Representation: I'm clear about what coaching is and isn't. I'm not your doctor, therapist, or medical advisor.
Your Agenda, Not Mine: Every session focuses on what you need, not what I think you should address.

What Past Participants Say
Sarah M., Breast Cancer Survivor
"I didn't realize how much I needed someone to ask me what I actually wanted, not tell me what I should do. The questions my coach asked helped me find clarity I didn't even know was possible during such chaos."
David L., Lymphoma Patient
"The ICF approach made all the difference. I'd been to support groups where everyone shared advice. This was different. My coach helped me discover my own answers, and those answers felt right because they came from me."
Dr. Patricia R., Colon Cancer Survivor
"I'm a physician myself, so I understood the medical side. What I needed was help navigating the human side. The coaching gave me space to be vulnerable and explore what mattered beyond the statistics."
Meet Your Coach: Cem
I'm Cem, founder of Cancerosion and your partner in this journey.
My background bridges two worlds: the rigorous science of cancer biology and the transformative art of professional coaching.

-
Medical Biologist and Research Manager at a Cancer Center
-
ICF-Aligned Professional Coach
-
Founder of Cancerosion, serving cancer patients, advocates, clinicians, and researchers since 2012

I don't believe in telling people what to do with their cancer journey. I've seen too many patients make decisions that looked perfect on paper but didn't honor who they really were.
My role is to create the space where you can think clearly, feel deeply, and decide authentically. I bring scientific literacy to help you understand your options. I bring coaching expertise to help you discover what matters most. But I bring humility about the fact that you are the ultimate expert on your own life.
What I Bring to Our Sessions:
-
Deep knowledge of cancer biology and treatment landscapes
-
Professional coaching training aligned with ICF standards
-
Personal experience supporting hundreds of patients through diagnosis and treatment
-
Commitment to your autonomy and empowerment above all else
What I Don't Bring:
-
Medical advice or treatment recommendations
-
A hidden agenda about what you should choose
-
Judgment about your decisions or feelings
-
Cookie-cutter solutions that ignore your uniqueness

This is your defining moment.
Let's transform it from overwhelming to empowering, from confusing to clear, from fearful to purposeful.
