Help us help you: What cancer topics would you like to learn about?

Dec 11, 2025 | Liz Waugh, Patient Educator | @lizwaugh | Comments (43)

The Stephen and Barbara Slaggie Family Cancer Education Center provides free educational resources and support for cancer patients and their families – including group classes, patient navigation, and online resources through Mayo Clinic Connect.

Throughout the year, we publish articles on a wide range of cancer-related topics. You’re reading one of them now! Our hope is that these articles provide support, inspire hope, and offer information that is truly meaningful as you navigate cancer or support a loved one.

No one understands what information is most helpful better than those living through the experience. That’s why we’re reaching out today.

We want to hear your ideas. 

What topics would you like us to cover in future articles? No suggestion is too big or too small. Our team will research up-to-date evidence and collaborate with Mayo Clinic experts to ensure the information we provide is accurate and useful. While we may not be able to write about every suggestion, your input helps guide our work and ensures we continue offering resources that matter to our community.

Feel free to browse previous articles for inspiration.

@lizwaugh - Thank you for asking members for suggestions. An educational article offering research proven methods to detoxify the lymphatic system after chemotherapy would be appreciated (or a link to an existing article if available). I understand this can be a significant step in helping post cancer recovery. I have used daily exercise and adequate water hydration with some good results in my continuing recovery after 2024 chemotherapy for a blood cancer but would appreciate anything else that might help.
