A cancer diagnosis will change your life. It can impact the way you see your body, your emotions, your future, and even your faith. At times cancer can stalk you like a giant; it’s always in your sight no matter what you do or where you go. At other times cancer can steal your thoughts and rob you of peace. This is true for both those persons with cancer and their loved ones standing alongside them. For anyone close to this disease, cancer requires a huge amount of focus to process the seemingly endless stream of information coming from the doctors’ offices. Evaluating treatment plans, tracking appointments, knowing prescription names, and understanding potential side-effects leaves little energy at the end of the day. Although it’s a struggle to take it all in, here are some thoughts to help you cope.
