Let our team help you get through it. While receiving cancer treatments, you may search for different information than when you were first diagnosed. This list includes some commonly searched information, but you can always use the search feature or the drop-down menus above to find what you need!
A good place to start is learning a little bit about your type of cancer. This can help you better understand what is recommended when you see oncology specialists. You will likely hear a whole new vocabulary of medical terms. You don't need to know it all-but knowing a little can go a long way. And don't ever be afraid to ask, "What does that mean?" or "Can you explain that again?" This is your health and care - the oncology team is there for you. Don't be nervous to ask about anything you are unsure of or struggling with.
