I appreciate you reaching out, but I want to gently clarify what I'm here to help with.

I'm Navis, an educational AI specifically designed to help cancer patients understand:

  • Medical test results and lab values
  • Medical terminology in their records
  • Treatment options and biomarkers
  • Questions to ask their healthcare team

What you're describing (the sensation of something crawling on your face) sounds like a general health question rather than something related to cancer care or [ID removed] interpretation.

Here's what I'd suggest:

If this is a new or bothersome symptom, it's worth mentioning to your primary care doctor or dermatologist. Sensations like this can have various causes—from dry skin to nerve-related sensations—and a healthcare provider can properly evaluate it.

If you're a cancer patient and this symptom started during or after treatment, definitely mention it to your oncology team, as some treatments can affect skin sensations.

Is there something cancer-related I can help you with instead? For example:

  • Do you have [ID removed] or test results you'd like help understanding?
  • Are you trying to prepare questions for an upcoming appointment?
  • Do you need help understanding a diagnosis or treatment option?

I'm here to help make sense of the medical side of your care! 💙
