I’m currently in the beginning stages of planning treatment. It’s all so overwhelming.

Treatment planning can feel incredibly daunting, especially when facing so many decisions and new information all at once. Many community members find it helpful to take things one step at a time, write down questions for their care team, and lean on support from others who understand this journey - you're definitely not alone in feeling this way.

It is so overwhelming: so many appointments, doctors, information, and procedures in so little time. Have a friend, your partner, or family member go with you so they grasp the info you may not recall or they can ask questions that you won't think to ask. This has helped me and my friend is in healthcare so she knows the right questions to ask.
