You have a treatment schedule. Nobody handed you a plan for the other 23 hours of the day.
What to eat. How to move. How to sleep. How to organize your records, talk to your family, and walk into your next appointment with the right questions. The free Cancer Battle Ready AI Assessment reads your diagnosis, your phase, and what worries you most, then gives you a structured plan and your next steps in about five minutes.

Martyn on what the clinical system was never designed to hand you.
You just heard the word "cancer," and your brain split in half.
One side is trying to process what the doctor said. The other side is already spiraling through everything nobody mentioned: what to eat tomorrow, whether you should still go to the gym, how to tell your kids, what your blood work actually means, whether the second opinion will contradict the first one.
I know that feeling because I lived it. I was told the treatments weren't working and that it looked grim. I went to Duke, Johns Hopkins, MD Anderson, and Mayo Clinic, and I got different recommendations from each of them. I sat with researchers and scientists around the world and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars learning what the clinical system was never designed to hand a patient.
The hospital handles your treatment. Nobody handles what happens between appointments.
What I built from it
Seven years later, I've sat one-on-one with more than 50 people after their diagnosis, often after a phone call at midnight. The same gaps show up every time: no organized records, no written question list, no plan for nutrition, movement, or sleep, and a family that wants to help but doesn't know how.
The free assessment is built on the same intake I use in those conversations. You answer a few questions, and you get a structured plan for where you actually are right now. It doesn't replace your doctors. It helps you show up to them organized, informed, and ready.
Martyn BufflerWhy you can trust this.
Not theory from a textbook. Firsthand experience across every phase: diagnosis, treatment, recovery, and survivorship.
Your phase changes what matters first.
The assessment starts by working out where you are, because the plan for someone in their first 72 hours looks nothing like the plan for someone three years past remission.
The first 72 hours
You're about to make major decisions in a fog. The first job is to stabilize, organize your records, choose who will advocate for you, and prepare before the next appointment.
Managing everything at once
Medications, symptoms, nutrition, hydration, and appointments, all in one place instead of in your head, with options for the days when eating is barely possible.
Rebuilding
You rang the bell, and then the attention stopped. A phased, week-by-week rebuild for strength, endurance, and sleep, with symptoms tracked so you know what to raise with your team.
Staying on track
Moving from "hoping it doesn't come back" to a real long-term structure: steady tracking of strength, mobility, sleep, stress, and the trends worth bringing to your doctor.
Helping someone you love
Good intentions without direction add chaos. A care team roster with clear roles and simple communication templates, so everyone knows exactly how to help.
The assessment works it out
Answer a few questions about your diagnosis, your phase, your medications, and what worries you most today. It takes about five minutes and costs nothing.

- A question list for your next appointment, built from your diagnosis and concerns
- A plain-language summary of what to focus on with your care team next
Questions, answered.
Is the assessment really free?
Yes. Your personalized result is included with no purchase. People facing a diagnosis are already overwhelmed and already paying a lot, so there's nothing to buy before you see how this applies to your situation.
Is this medical advice?
No. The assessment helps you organize your situation, understand what matters in your phase, and prepare better questions for your medical team. It never replaces your doctors, your treatment, or professional medical advice.
I'm asking for someone else. Can I still take it?
Yes. Caregivers and family members can answer for the person they're supporting. The result includes guidance on how to organize the people around them so help actually helps.
How long does it take?
About five minutes. You answer a few questions about the diagnosis, the phase, current medications, and what you're most concerned about today.
Can I work with Martyn directly?
Yes, for situations where it makes the most sense: a complex diagnosis, conflicting opinions from different institutions, or a high-stakes decision point. See Work With Me for how that works.
