This study is testing whether adding extra support—through nurse navigators and counselors—helps rural cancer patients get better-quality care and feel less overwhelmed. Half of the participants will receive up to 10 one-on-one sessions with an oncology nurse navigator and a counselor over 6 months, while the other half will receive a list of resources. Everyone will answer surveys about their care experience.
Rural cancer patients often face challenges getting timely, coordinated care and may feel isolated during treatment. This study aims to find out whether having a dedicated nurse navigator and counselor to guide patients through key treatment milestones can improve both the quality of care they receive and how they feel about their cancer journey.

You will participate in this study for 6 months. At the beginning, 3 months, and 6 months, you will complete surveys about your cancer care experience and how you're doing emotionally. If you're randomly chosen for the support group, you'll also have up to 10 sessions (by phone, video, or in person) with a nurse navigator and counselor who will help you understand your treatment, connect you with resources, and support you through major treatment milestones. If you're in the other group, you'll receive a list of helpful resources.
