The PEG discussion as Charm suggests would have been so helpful when my son was first diagnosed. All his doctors said was that "he might have to use one" which horrified us without even knowing the pros and cons which were never presented to us by the cancer team.

As far as "tools", I wonder if there would be room for a list of financial aid suggestions. I remember seeing Christine's link to several good suggestions for those struggling financially. Just knowing where to go for help would relieve a lot of anxiety for survivors and CGs. There was a drug company that forgave my son's bill because of his financial need. This app is going to be such a wonderful thing for the survivors and their CGs!
