Organizing for Cancer Patients, Survivors
& Caregivers
The CANcer Life Organizing® System
A non-medical organizing system created by a 3x cancer survivor to empower cancer patients, survivors, and caregivers with a clear, compassionate, and practical way to stay organized
—even in the hardest moments.
I'm Lisa Assetta 3x Cancer Survivor | 2x Breast Cancer Professional Organizing Coach.
After three cancer diagnoses, I realized nobody teaches you how to organize your life when it's falling apart. So I created a system that works—even on your worst days.
If I CAN organize through cancer chaos, you CAN organize through yours.
WHY THIS SYSTEM WORKS
After three cancer diagnoses, I learned that traditional organizing methods don't work when you're dealing with medical chaos. You need:
→ A system that takes 15 minutes to set up (not hours)
→ Tools that work even on brain fog days
→ One central location for all medical information
→ Support from someone who's been there
That's what the CANcer Life Organizing® System provides. It's not about being perfect—it's about having a functional system that reduces stress and helps you find what you need when you need it.
Whether you're newly diagnosed, in treatment, managing long-term care, or supporting a loved one, this system adapts to your needs.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Who is the CANcer Life Organizing® System for? Originally created for cancer patients and caregivers, the system helps anyone managing medical complexity—including chronic illness, ADHD, mental health challenges, and major life transitions. If you're drowning in medical paperwork, missing appointments, or feeling overwhelmed by daily organizing tasks, this system is for you.
How is this different from a regular planner? This isn't a planner—it's a complete organizing system. While planners focus on scheduling, the CANcer Life Organizing® System helps you manage medical records, test results, insurance documentation, medication schedules, and all the paperwork that comes with health challenges. Everything in one place, easy to find when you need it.
I've never been good at staying organized. Will I actually use this? Yes, because this isn't a complicated system that requires discipline or perfect habits. It's designed for real life, real chaos, and real exhaustion. The setup takes 15 minutes, and after that, it just works. You're not maintaining a system—you're using a tool. Big difference.
Is this only for people with cancer? While the system was created for cancer patients (based on my three cancer journeys), it works for anyone managing medical complexity, chronic illness, mental health challenges, ADHD, caregiving responsibilities, or major life stress. The organizing principles are universal.
Do you offer virtual sessions? Yes! All coaching sessions are conducted virtually via Zoom, making it convenient no matter where you're located. While I'm based in Tampa Bay, Florida, I work with clients nationwide.
