That sounds like it would be really helpful. I don't have a nurse navigator but the research coordinator does a lot of those things for me. She schedules all of my treatments, labs and appointments, comes to at least one of my appointments each week to check in on me and has been very helpful with answering my questions or referring me to the right people to ask. It's one of the nicest parts of being in this clinical trial. Just not having to deal with remembering to schedule all these appointments is such a gift right now.
