Testimonials
Real Stories from Our Courageous Community.
“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
“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 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…”

“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…”

“We are incredibly thankful for the personalized care we have received from N1X10 over the past 10 months. 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.

Their dedication and compassion have been invaluable to us, and we highly recommend N1X10 for their exceptional care.”

“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...”
Sheryl B.
“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...”

“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.”
Maridee F
“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.”

“Your service was invaluable to us! We’re both scientists, physicians and yet – we needed it and gained tremendous value from it. We think that for less scientific cancer patients this is a must”

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.
