While a person experiences a variety of emotions, when first diagnosed that he/she has cancer or a blood disorder/disease, the primary concern is survival.  Almost always, the uncertainty of not knowing what will happen, and the sense of powerlessness, is most troubling to someone facing a cancer diagnosis. It is best to educate yourself and your loved ones about issues surrounding your survival, in order to live a full and productive life.

Below are links to websites containing information for people living with cancer or a blood disease/disorder.  All information provided through these links is for information only, and does not constitute medical advice.  Please consult your physician before acting or relying upon such information.
