Coping with Cancer
When the cancer diagnosis has been given, a person is forced to face their own mortality. Knowledge is power, and learning about how to deal with your diagnosis or what to expect with treatments can help you cope with it easier. Ask your doctor questions.
Write down questions as you think of them since they often escape us later. Ask your doctor to explain things you do not understand and write down information.
Welcome support from family, friends, and loved ones. They are in your life because they care about you so let them know when you need an ear to vent, someone to help, or a word of encouragement.
