"With N1X10 you have a trusted advisor at your side, and even if they're just a sounding board for decisions you have to make, they certainly will give you all the information you need to make that decision."

“I am Tim Draper, venture capitalist with Draper Associates. The doctors found a tumor that was diagnosed as a liposarcoma in my lower back. I was looking for an independent second opinion and I discovered N1X10. They were much more than a second opinion. They helped me understand, in depth, not just what I had and what my options were, but also discussed all the various treatments available to me.

“I engaged N1X10 in August of 2023 after my diagnosis of cholangiocarcinoma. They were very helpful in providing me with questions to ask my oncology team and also in doing some research behind the scenes to find out whether there were any clinical trials that would possibly be something that I could access.”

Their entire team has been wonderful, consistently checking in with us, thoroughly explaining all the blood results and scans, and overseeing the work done by our local oncology team. The research they conducted on all possible treatment options, along with their expertise and reassurance, provided the perfect support we needed during this very scary journey. Their dedication and compassion have been invaluable to us, and we highly recommend N1X10 for their exceptional care.”

“I am very thankful that my primary care doctor recommended N1X10. Over the past 11 months, their entire team has been wonderful. Dr. George & Erin were instrumental in referring me to a renowned cancer institute. Their care & expertise were difference-makers. I recently learned that my post-treatment scans indicate no evidence of cancer. There is no question that N1X10 played an extremely important role in my treatment‘s success & I am very grateful.”

“N1X10 provided me with a personalized review and a second opinion, helping me to more precisely define the type of breast cancer I had, and to understand the differences between what therapies might be of more use to me in ensuring that the cancer does not return. They had a wider perspective of therapies available and were able to explain the relative benefits of various drugs. They also alerted me to cutting edge therapies available internationally, one of which I elected to pursue. The oncology advocate was invaluable in providing research to support my self-advocacy with my oncology team in BC. A very professional, knowledgeable, caring and patient approach at all times.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Your personalized advocacy team will educate you about your current cancer diagnosis and treatment. In addition, we will provide information about other diagnostic tests that may be helpful, other available and appropriate treatment options and supportive care options, if needed.

Empowered patients often have better outcomes which is why your participation in meetings is important. We will provide you with all the education, guidance and support you need throughout your journey.

The service starts with a 3-month Planning & Intervention phase. Depending on your condition, this phase can be extended to address your unique needs. The next phase is the 9-month Surveillance phase. You will proceed to this phase after discussing it with your advocacy team and determining that it is the right decision for you. During the surveillance phase the advocacy team continues to support you and, if needed, will discuss the option to resume an additional Planning & Intervention phase.

Absolutely. It is important to have a strong support circle. We encourage you to include and welcome your trusted family members or friends.

Your advocacy team consists of a lead oncology advocate (oncologist) and an oncology advocate (physician assistant). Your main point of contact is the oncology advocate with whom you will have weekly calls and routine check-ins. You will have meetings with the lead advocate on a regular basis and when new options need to be discussed.

In general, referrals to medical professionals should be provided by your PCP or treating oncologist. We will provide contact details and make an introduction when needed.
When it is warranted, we will connect you with the best experts for consultation or second opinions.


For those enrolled in the POA Premium plan, we will assist in contacting the experts and coordinating the meeting.

Our advocacy teams are comprised of certified oncologists and physician assistants located in the US and Canada. The advocacy team that will be assigned to you is not necessarily from your local area. The service is provided via digital tools such as Zoom; therefore, your location is not significant. Your team is assigned based upon availability and other factors such as your time-zone.

Our lead advocates are certified oncologists with extensive experience, from leading cancer centers, in the US and Canada. The lead advocates are not only experts in oncology, but in being your trusted advocate and assisting you to better navigate your cancer journey. The lead advocate may not be specialized in your unique cancer diagnosis; however, they can identify the best experts using our broad global network.

In the standard healthcare system, decisions are often made for the patient without considering the patient’s preferences. A cornerstone of our advocacy service is the collaborative decision-making approach. Your advocacy team will help you map all the options, both within and outside of the standard protocol. They will explain the pros and cons of each option while considering your specific preferences. They will then prepare you to make informed decisions with your treating care team. This process will empower you and enable you to navigate your journey on your own terms.

The service can begin immediately after completing the enrollment process. The first step is collecting all your clinical data and getting to know you and learning about your needs and preferences. This can often take several weeks. When urgent issues require timely decisions, we can begin addressing them immediately while progressing with discussions as we continue to receive data.

“N1X10 has played a pivotal role in my on-going cancer adventure. With weekly  access to “my own” N1X10 oncologist and his PA, I was able to make educated decisions about my treatment, and there were never any questions that went unanswered. 

 Additionally, my N1X10 physician brought up questions for me to ask my oncology team that I would not have known to ask were it not for him, and they were crucial questions. 

Finally, there was a level of compassion and kindness that truly made a difference for me as I grappled with unwelcome and scary developments. 

I highly recommend N1X10.”

“I am Tim Draper, venture capitalist with Draper Associates.

The doctors found a tumor that was diagnosed as a liposarcoma in my lower back. I was looking for an independent second opinion and I discovered N1X10. They were much more than a second opinion. They helped me understand, in depth, not just what I had and what my options were, but also discussed all the various treatments available to me. They made sure I got Stanford to freeze the tumor for future evaluations and treatments, and they made me comfortable that the diagnosis and treatment I was receiving at Stanford was optimal.

I would recommend N1X10 without reservation to anyone who has cancer and wants to know everything they can possibly do about it.” 

Tim Draper

“We are thankful for the incredible support I received from my team at N1X10. When I was first diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer, I felt overwhelmed and uncertain about the next steps to navigate the medical system in Canada. 

The team at N1X10 not only helped me navigate the complexities of cancer care, but they also have provided a reassuring presence throughout my journey. From thoroughly explaining the various results, blood tests and scans to overseeing the work done by my local surgeon and oncology team. N1X10 has offered invaluable resources, emotional support, and has been there every step of the way. 

Their dedication to patient advocacy truly made a difference in my experience by empowering me to make informed decisions and approach treatment with confidence. I honestly don’t know where I would be without them. Thank you, N1X10, for your unwavering commitment to patients like me.  We would absolutely recommend N1X10 to others.”

“I was 54 years old when I was diagnosed with Stage 3 uterine cancer.  Although I was getting top-notch treatment at one of the best cancer hospitals in NYC, I felt as though I needed more personalized guidance as I went through my fight against cancer.

During the course of my treatments, it was invaluable to me to have N1X10 constantly guide me through the process.  For example, the weekly consultations with the PAs and Doctor enabled me to ask more intelligent questions of my treating physicians, and make judgments about their recommendations.  I knew that my treating physicians had a limited amount of time to spend with me, so having N1X10 in my corner meant that I could have access to information and answers immediately and without limit.

In addition to having their guidance, I took advantage of some of the other ancillary benefits N1X10 brought to me.  These included, among others, a first rate nutritionist, and a consultation with a doctor who specializes in off-label treatments.

In short, my relationship with N1X10 brought me a sense of calm and control over a disease that could have otherwise taken over not only my body but also my mind. I am grateful to N1X10 for the immeasurable support they have provided me.”

“Aware of the lack of resources and experts in rare & deadly cancers like Uveal Melanoma which had spread to my lung and liver in April 2023, we quickly realized standard of care oncology was not an option. We needed to find an advocate to help us process the information that was coming to us.

Our concierge doctor introduced us to N1X10, and we are thankful for the dedicated team of two doctors Dr. Hogg (specializing in Uveal Melanoma), Dr. Feldman and their PA Katie who immediately became our sounding board as we tried to make decisions.

N1X10 helped us navigate which treatment path to take, confirm surveillance needed, and interpret the many scans and test results along the way. Even during the low moments, they were communicative and supportive. 

I have been very fortunate to have N1X10 by my side during this second round of cancer.”

“I am a 66-year-old energy executive living in Texas. As I approached retirement, I prioritized health more than anything else. Over the last few years, I have assembled a team of concierge doctors to advise me. I joined the Executive Health Program at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. And most importantly perhaps, I affiliated with one of the top longevity practices in the country.  My doctors were available by text or cell phone 24/7. In short, I enjoyed the best possible level of health care service. 

Late last year, my longevity practice identified a concern in my quarterly blood tests that led to me getting a bone marrow biopsy. The result of the testing indicated that I had early-stage Multiple Myeloma. I then became a patient at one of the top cancer hospitals in the country. At the same time, my longevity practice recommended that I bring in N1X10 as a cancer consultant. Dr. Nancy Feldman at N1X10 was assigned to my case.

Given the level of health care I had become accustomed to, I expected the same from my top cancer hospital. Initially, that was not the case. Prior to the first appointment, I wrote down a lengthy list of questions for my assigned hematologist/oncologist. However, the meeting only lasted 15 minutes and consisted of her reading my test results online (as a matter of first impression to her) and walking me through the standard of care for Multiple Myeloma patients. We never got to my list, and she did not want to address my specific condition, saying only that “all patients react differently to treatment.” Following a second meeting that was shorter and even less productive, I considered transferring my care to the Mayo Clinic.

Fortunately for me though, I had Dr. Nancy Feldman at N1X10 as my consultant. My sessions with Dr. Feldman were every other week for 4 months and lasted more than an hour each time. Dr. Feldman’s 40+ years of experience as hematological oncologist were invaluable. She staged my specific level of disease, identified what would constitute success in treatment, gave me insight into survival rates for my case and described the state of development of treatments making their way through clinical trials should the course recommended by my cancer hospital not be successful.  

In addition to the above, Dr. Feldman went one critical step further. She identified the doctors in the myeloma section of my cancer hospital she would recommend that I transfer my care to.  And, with the considerable help of the patient advocacy program at the hospital, those changes were made. My new doctors there are excellent and allow me to text or call them at any time. Dr. Feldman continued to fill in the gaps of my understanding and recommended treatments for the numerous side effects I was experiencing. Her bedside manner was excellent. She is one of the most knowledgeable, diligent and caring physicians I have ever been associated with. 

Facing the most serious challenge of my life, I initially could not get any answers. The best hospitals in the country are large institutions that see thousands of patients a day. They only have so much time that they can spend with you, and the answers you get are only as good as the doctor to which you have been assigned. Understanding every aspect of my condition was particularly important to me. That is where N1X10 stepped in and excelled. I have now completed my stem cell transplant and have been told that I am in complete remission. I would strongly recommend that anyone that finds themselves in the same situation as me, and has the resources, use N1X10 as their oncology consultant.”
