First, Take
a Moment

It may seem as if there's a lot to
do-and there is-but it's OK to
allow yourself time to process your
diagnosis and experience emotions
like fear, sadness and anger before
jumping into scheduling appointments and tests.
"A cancer diagnosis is a shocking,
life-changing event," says Jenny
Marais, RN, oncology nurse navigator and author of Navigating Your
Cancer Journey: A Handbook for
Cancer Patients and Caregivers by
an Oncology Nurse Navigator. "Give
yourself a chance to grieve and
breathe before you worry about
taking any next steps."
Remember that it's common for
individuals with cancer to experience some form of depression after
a diagnosis or during treatment,
adds Dawn Wiatrek, PhD, a psychologist and a spokeswoman for the
American Cancer Society. "If you're
struggling," she says, "meeting with
a mental health professional or
attending a cancer support group
can provide the support you need to
get through your cancer journey."
