Memorial Sloan Kettering Oncologist Shares the Roadmap She Wishes Every Patient Had
NEW YORK, Oct. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Pink ribbons can remind women to get screened for breast cancer. But they can't prepare someone for what happens after the doctor says, "You have cancer."
After more than 25 years caring for women with breast and gynecologic cancers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, board-certified medical oncologist Tiffany Troso-Sandoval, MD, has seen how quickly patients can become overwhelmed by unfamiliar terminology, appointments, test results, treatment decisions, and the logistical demands of cancer care.
Her new book, Calming the Cancer Chaos: An Oncologist's Guide for Women to Understand, Organize, and Take Control of Their Cancer Care, is designed to provide the roadmap she believes every woman should have from the moment of diagnosis.
She writes, "Every organizational tool, every explanation, every piece of advice in these pages came from listening to thousands of patients who told me what helped, what didn't, what they wished they'd known sooner, and what made an impossible journey slightly more bearable."
Structured chronologically to follow the natural progression of a cancer journey, Calming the Cancer Chaos serves as both a roadmap for someone newly diagnosed and an ongoing reference for women already in treatment, recovery, or survivorship, as well as the loved ones supporting them.
The book helps women make sense of their diagnosis, understand what questions to ask, organize appointments and medical information, and take a more active role in their care. The goal is not simply to give women more information, but to help women feel less alone, less overwhelmed, and more prepared to face whatever comes next.
After decades spent listening to patients and families, Dr. Troso offers practical insight into critical questions:
- How to organize your care so nothing falls through the cracks
- Plain language translations of your pathology reports, scans, and test results
- How to choose your oncology team and prepare for appointments to get real answers
- What to expect during treatment, managing side effects, and when to call your doctor
- Survivorship strategies, including monitoring, reducing toxins, and reclaiming your health
This book is the roadmap. Patients will know what's happening, what comes next, and how to take an active role in their care.
