Summary

This trial tests a self-management program for cancer survivors to see if it improves follow-up care, communication with doctors, and quality of life.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for stage I-III non-small cell lung or colorectal cancer survivors who finished treatment at least 4 months ago. Participants must understand English and be willing to consent to the study's requirements. Those unable to comply with the study as judged by the investigator cannot join.

What is being tested?

The trial examines a telehealth self-management program aimed at improving survivorship care for cancer survivors. It includes coaching on follow-up care, using tools like telemedicine, survivorship care plans, questionnaires, and quality-of-life assessments.

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial focuses on survivorship care rather than medication or invasive treatments, traditional side effects are not expected. However, participants may experience stress or discomfort related to discussing their cancer experience.
