    • Knowledge of treatment options
    • The lack of treatment options for Stage III patients
    • The psychosocial effects of a Stage III diagnosis
    • Decision-making around treatment
    • Obtaining a second opinion
    • Supportive resources
    • Your overall experience

    A $100 honorarium will be provided for your participation. In order to participate, you will need a telephone, a computer with high speed internet access and a webcam. If you do not have a webcam, one can be provided to you at no charge.
