“I consulted with NAVEXIO shortly after I had received my third cancer diagnosis. I was upset, confused, scared and frustrated that the Canadian Cancer system lack support as to therapies available, analysis as to why the cancer kept re-occurring in different areas in my body and did not understand how the system failed to provideeven basic strategies like diet.
The services provided by our government allowed at most a 10-minute discussion with the surgeon/expert, followed by tests, medicine and surgery. No one person was in-charge of my file nor was there any individual who would discuss the entire file. And finally, from diagnosis until surgical remedy took months with little if any discussions in-between appointments.
NAVEXIO, in comparison, provided for me all the missing pieces and guided me how best to handle my cancer diagnosis. First of all, the expert I worked with was kind, thoughtful, knowledgeable, professional and the most engaging listener. He always made me feel that he had all the time in the world to chat and that no question was not of significance. He responded to my questions (which were many) within a 24-hour period thereby reducing my stress. He helped me to understand the medical terminology and equipped me with the knowledge to communicate with my doctors to be able to obtain a full diagnostic work-up to access alternatives and ensure the most appropriate treatment was applied. For me, the expert at NAVEXIO provided the links missing from our current Ontario medical system and I believe I would not be here today without their services.”

“When my mother was diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma with metastasis, our family was eager to find an advisory service that could provide us cutting edge information and a methodical path of how to proceed with her cancer journey.
We had the privilege of working with an expert at NAVEXIO whose dedication and expertise have left an indelible mark on my mother’s journey through cancer treatment. After a thorough review of my mom’s situation, they had provided valuable insight and suggestions that our doctors had not surfaced (including second opinions). Their analysis of my mother’s molecular diagnostics made a measurable impact by giving us the tools we needed to advocate for further testing which gave us important additional input that the initial testing had not provided.
NAVEXIO’s ability to explain complex medical concepts in a clear and understandable manner was invaluable in helping us make informed decisions about treatment options. The NAVEXIO expert is not just a brilliant advisor, but also a compassionate and empathetic human being. He took the time to address all of our concerns, patiently answering every question, no matter how trivial it might have seemed. This level of communication truly empowered my mother throughout the process, alleviating much of the anxiety that often accompanies a cancer diagnosis. Their service was exactly what we needed to proceed and make quick decisions with confidence.”

What next? What just happened? Glioblastoma - a diagnosis that I could not even begin to know what to do with? Doctors talking in a language I knew nothing about!
Doctors who speak about this diagnosis with no personal connection to the patient. I mean this was my husband and my World. NOW…..How do I keep my husband alive and what would be the right steps to do that? Despite my husband having a very complex cancer diagnosis, we got the standard work-up of “Diagnosis/ Surgery/ Chemotherapy” for glioblastoma and then “Good Luck, this is all we can offer”. The hospitals have procedures that are paid for under the Alberta Health care but that is the only box they can work within. But, most of our decisions needed to be outside the box! This is where we had the blessing of working with NAVEXIO.
At Navexio – The team has the extensive experience and knowledge we were looking for. They were able to translate this language I knew nothing about. I wanted my husband to live and I needed them to help me walk the right path. Navexio was there for us at ALL hours, and were able to propose other medical opportunities that are not covered within these hospital frameworks. We wanted to try and find the oncogenic drivers of this Cancer. Facilitating me with the knowledge of the extra mile I was willing to go. I could not have gone through this experience without the help I received. It allowed me to feel “ I was doing everything I could do possible to help keep my husband alive”.
Cancer can be a lonely and scary place.....The Navexio team allowed us to not feel alone.

“Thank you for your insightful advice regarding my cancer treatment. I was trying to navigate available options in a very precarious situation. All of this 1-month post liver transplantation.
I received pathology results after transplant indicating that I had stage 2 cholangiocarcinoma. The prognosis was very grim even with traditional chemotherapy.
Your unique expertise and knowledge of cancer and genetics provided me with the confidence to pursue a specific treatment route. If I had gone the traditional treatment route, I truly believe that 4 years on, I would not be here. To date, I am cancer free and extremely grateful for all of your guidance.”

I have a rare and aggressive cancer, sarcomatoid mesothelioma, and was fortunate to find Navexio.
Their cancer navigation experts have been extremely helpful in analyzing the diagnostic and molecular testing and supporting the selection of my immunotherapy.

“I approached Navexio to support me with cancer navigation consulting to help plan for an accelerated diagnosis of my condition which has been complicated by other comorbidities.
Given that access to tissue was not possible, Navexio's experts identified minimally- and non-invasive strategies that are not normally offered in the normal course of oncology care to help guide diagnosis and treatment options. As a result, Navexio’s experts provided me with the understanding and confidence to make informed decisions on my next steps in this journey.”

“I was diagnosed with brain cancer in early 2023. That was the most devastating news for me and my family.
The first step of the cancer journey is to understand what your cancer is all about. You can google everything but without the context and medical knowledge, you can get pulled in so many directions. For every cancer, every single case is different and what you read online might not be relevant to you. That's why we contacted NAVEXIO.
Step 1 for me was to understand my cancer at the micro-cellular / gene level. NAVEXIO provided the rationale and guidance to understand my cancer at the micro-cellular / gene level. They advised me on how to get more advanced testing performed on my tumor at the DNA and RNA levels. We were educated on the benefits of obtaining the profiling of the tumor to confirm the probable root cause of my cancer. That put us on the right track and allowed us to narrow down drugs and potential clinical trials that could one day allow me to live with cancer for many many years to come.
Receiving advice and guidance from NAVEXIO allowed us to have more pointed conversations with my oncologist and my entire medical team. Living cancer is a journey. There are many ups and downs. I'm happy to have NAVEXIO on my team. Every step is important which is why I strongly recommend reaching out to them early in your journey.
Stay strong Warriors.”
