Summary

This study tests whether a telephone coaching program called Talking About Cancer (TAC) helps people with advanced cancer and their support person engage in advance care planning, such as having end-of-life conversations and completing advance directives. About 80 patients and their chosen support person will take part. The coaching is delivered by a social worker over the phone and aims to reduce distress and create a clear action plan.
