Patient

As a cancer patient, you may feel like your life has become a rollercoaster – physically and emotionally.

You may have already gotten over the initial shock of your diagnosis. You may have begun (or are ready to begin) your therapy plan – surgery, chemo, radiation or other integrative therapies. Or, you may be experiencing side effects and you are wondering about what to do now and down the road.

As you continue through your treatment, there are some things to consider:

• Ask questions. It is your health and well-being that are at stake.
• Learn from fellow cancer patients, survivors and caregivers. They have been through a similar experience and have much to offer.
• Share your experience and concerns with fellow patients and survivors to learn and gain the confidence you need to manage your cancer.
• Ask for help and accept help if you need it.
