Make Your Play

Give us the situation. We’ll build the prompt.

Turn confusing medical language into a plan you can follow, question, and fit around the rest of your life.

Your answers save as you type.

What you'll do

This is the plan inside your prompt. Add your details first. Then follow these steps with ChatGPT or Claude.

01 Map each treatment phase plainly Get each phase out of medical shorthand and into terms that match your actual calendar and energy levels.
02 Draft your priority questions Shape the worries swirling in your head into questions your care team can actually answer usefully.
03 Sort questions by urgency Not everything needs an answer today. Figure out what does.
04 Build your appointment tracker Stop relying on memory or scattered papers for when and where you're supposed to show up.
05 Make sense of side effects Know what to expect and how to report it without minimizing or catastrophizing.
06 Check timing across all your care Surgery, radiation, reconstruction, and other care don't always line up neatly. See where they might conflict or connect.
07 Set up a decisions and concerns log Give yourself somewhere to park the important stuff that comes up between visits so it doesn't get lost or bargained away by stress.
08 Know when to call between visits Know the difference between a rough day and something that needs immediate attention.
09 Plan for possible changes Build a little flexibility into your plan so a schedule change doesn't knock you completely off balance.
10 Create your one-page summary Pull everything together into something you can actually use when you're tired, nervous, or both.
