Conclusion

[Narrator]

In summary, learning good negotiating skills is an important part of dealing with cancer. These skills can help you to get the medical care you prefer, clear up disagreements with insurers, and protect your legal rights. Those skills include information gathering, effective communication, holding to your values, setting personal limits, controlling your emotions, and a willingness to see more than one solution to any problem. Review this program to sharpen your negotiation skills. These skills will lead to successful negotiations not only with your cancer concerns, but in every area of your life.
