Just Diagnosed with Cancer?

As you navigate what’s next, be sure to…

It’s natural to want to do research about cancer, but it can be overwhelming to sort through the noise. That’s why we’ve put together a list of credible sites that provide sound information. View our list of reliable cancer resources.

Know Your Options

Make sure you know your exact diagnosis, stage of disease and treatment options. The keyword here is options, and you’ll always have more than one. A good doctor will equip you with information and explain the risks and benefits so you can make the choice that’s right for you.

Seek a Second Opinion

A second opinion can give you peace of mind, especially when you’re dealing with a serious diagnosis. No matter where you start, you have the right to a second opinion from another cancer center.

Ask Questions

If you have questions for your doctor, you deserve answers. You may be worried about treatment costs, about losing your hair, about your ability to work, about the impact on your sex life. No question is too small or too personal. Jot down your questions in a notebook to help keep track to put your mind at ease.
