NOW what is going on, how bad the cancer is, where it is, where it has spread. Thank God you have never had to ask and answer these questions before. Somewhere in the back of your mind, you were worried about an auto accident or breaking a bone, or needing an operation, but you have absolutely no training or experience in having cancer. You find a physician you trust. This makes sense.
Oncologists know about cancer.
However, there is so much information about cancer. Some of it is really valid and reliable, in books and medical literature, and from your doctors. First, believe what your doctor tells you. She or he has spent years training, learning, and understanding this process we call cancer. Second, read all you can.
