Cancer Support Community

Looking Ahead

The next few days and weeks will be a busy time, as you face critical decisions about your treatment for cancer. Remember, you do have time to look into your options and make choices that are right for you and your family. Gather information and make a list of questions to ask when you visit your doctor. Ask for help and support from family and friends.

As you move through this first stage of survival, turn to other cancer survivors for support and advice. Be honest with your healthcare team and ask questions about why certain treatments are recommended. Don’t hesitate to seek a second or even a third opinion. Give yourself time to take it all in, then move forward by gathering information so you can make treatment decisions with confidence.
