Study participation for all participants will be for up to 9 months, with study visits approximately every 3 months, based on standard clinical follow-up. All participants will be administered quality of life surveys by a Clinical Research Associate at study entry, mid-study (approximately 3-6 months) and at study completion.
The following factors will be compared between arms:

Participants will rate their feelings about 39 specific cancer needs on a 5 point scale from "Not a Problem" to "Very Severe Problem" using the Cancer Needs Distress Inventory (CaNDI) tool. Total scores can range from 39 to 195. Lower scores are associated with less cancer related distress. |
| 9 months |
| New Survivor Survey | Participants will rate their understanding about 16 specific aspects of survivorship care on a 4 point scale from "Strongly Disagree" to "Strongly Agree" using the Preparing for Life as a New Survivor (PLANS) Scale. Total scores can range from 16 to 48. Lower scores are associated with less understanding of the survivorship care process. | 9 months |
| Lost to Care | The research team will document the number of participants lost to care, based on consecutive missed cancer care visits. | 9 months |
