What are the necessary steps to take when you find out you have cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many: You need to assemble a team to assist you in your care. Family and friends are a good start. You will need information about your cancer, what tests need to be done, and how it will be treated, what are the expected side effects and what is the schedule of treatment. This is just a start.
