Welcome
Lived experience belongs at the table.
Cancer Sharks brings together people living with cancer, care partners, clinicians, researchers, and support organizations.
Through patient partnership and facilitated storytelling, we turn lived experience into information that can help shape better research, care, and support.
Patient Partnership
We create meaningful roles for people living with cancer and care partners throughout the decision-making process.
Their priorities can help shape the questions being asked, the programs being built, the way results are interpreted, and how information is shared with the people who need it.
Facilitated Storytelling
Some of the most important parts of living with cancer never appear in a medical record.
Cancer Sharks creates thoughtfully facilitated spaces where people can share what cancer has changed, what support they need, and what healthcare systems may be missing. These stories can reveal patterns, build connection, and produce insights that traditional measurements may not capture.
Care & Research Collaboration
Cancer Sharks works alongside healthcare teams, researchers, cancer organizations, and supportive-care providers to bring lived experience into their work.
We help partners listen earlier, involve people more meaningfully, and create programs and research that reflect the realities of living with cancer.
Because no one should have cancer care, research, or support designed around them without being invited to help shape it.
