Welcome to the Cancer Sidekick Foundation, where we are focused on effectively navigating the healthcare system, understanding all the data, figuring out data interoperability, treating blood disorders, discovering and curing cancer, delving into medical billing, taking care of a neutropenic patient, optimizing personal healthcare, understanding the doctor and hospitals' Electronic Health Record systems, keeping a watchful eye on nurses. Taking notes of gaps in the healthcare system from a consumer and patient perspective!

Originally, our mission was beating Acute Adult T-Cell Lymphoblastic Leukemia and restoring Mama Pham back to her vibrant self. Want to share thoughts on beating cancer, patient advocating, getting health data, navigating hospital systems, or anything healthcare, technology, or data?

The infamous (for amazing addictive egg rolls) Mama Pham, was admitted to St. Joseph's Hospital in Savannah, Georgia on August 10th, 2013 and diagnosed with Acute Adult T-Cell Lymphoblastic Leukemia on August 14th, 2013.   This hub originally served as an up-to-date documentary of her treatment and recovery. Kathy Pham, our founder, learned much during this process about cancer, leukemia, insurance, medications, hospitals and support.
