This pre-recorded program features a thoughtful conversation with SHARE’s patient navigator, Sandra Morales, OPN-CG; financial navigator, Zarek Mena, OPN-CG; and Tricia Strusowski, MS, RN, TurnKey Oncology LLC. All of whom bring deep expertise, compassion, and the kind of understanding that only comes from lived experience as cancer survivors.
Together, they walk through what navigation really looks like at SHARE, breaking down the differences between their roles and those of nurse navigators and oncology social workers. They also open up their toolkit: the practical resources, approaches, and strategies they use to support people through the emotional, logistical, and financial challenges of breast cancer.
Sandra, Zarek, and Tricia share their vision for expanding SHARE’s navigation program and how they’re working to make this kind of support a standard part of care for every cancer patient. Their insight, dedication, and firsthand perspective make this an empowering and informative session for anyone seeking guidance on their breast cancer journey.
