How do you cope with worry after a new cancer diagnosis?

Feeling worried after a cancer diagnosis is completely normal and something many in this community understand deeply. While the anxiety can feel overwhelming, connecting with others who share similar experiences and working with your healthcare team to understand your treatment plan can help provide some comfort and direction during this difficult time.

I have two recommendations: 1) Get all the information you can about your type of cancer. There are so many different types. Make sure to see your oncologist and surgeon and take someone with you to those appointments. 2) Make a decision to not worry. Worry and anxiety don't change anything and ultimately just make you miserable. If you have someone to talk to vent as much as possible and then let it go. I'm not minimizing your feelings. Just telling you what I've learned after dealing with many tragedies and trials in my life.
