About Us

We’re Scott & Patty.

We know what it’s like to need someone who understands.

Life Between Scans was born from our own cancer journey and a simple belief: honest conversations can help people make the decisions that are right for them.

The man has short, wavy hair, glasses, a beard, and is wearing a blue shirt with black and white suspenders. In the background, there is a wooden sign on the wall that says "I love our happily ever after," a window with blinds, and some pink tulips.

OUR MISSION

Helping patients and caregivers make the decisions that are right for them through honest conversations.

We share experiences, not prescriptions.

What Matters to Us

These values guide every conversation, every resource, and every decision we make.

Real People

Real stories from real people who have been there. No judgment.

Lived Experience

We share experiences, not prescriptions. Every journey is different.

Honest Conversation

A place to talk openly, ask questions, and share what’s really on your mind.

OUR STORY

From our journey to yours

Scott’s cancer experience began in 2017. What followed were surgeries, treatments, research, hard decisions, and more questions than answers.

Patty experienced those years from a different chair: partner, caregiver, advocate, and the person trying to make sense of many of the same uncertainties from the other side of the conversation.

Together, we learned the value of asking questions, seeking multiple perspectives, becoming active participants in healthcare decisions, and leaning on each other.

We also learned how valuable it can be to talk with someone who has lived through something similar. Some of the conversations that helped us most were the ones we had the hardest time finding.

So we created Life Between Scans to make those conversations easier to find.

OUR APPROACH

Conversations that empower.

  • Your path is personal.

There is no one right path. We help you explore your options so you can make decisions that fit your values and lifestyle.

  • Lived experience, not prescriptions.

We share what we have learned and what helped us—without telling anyone what they should do.

  • An active role in your own healthcare.

We encourage questions, multiple perspectives, and clear communication—so you can be an active participant in your care.
