Cancer Frequently Asked Questions

Your questions are many and cancer information is everywhere. We’d like to start you off with the basics, as well as a simple word of advice:

- Don’t believe your story will be just like others you read. Fighting cancer can be as personal as anything you’ve ever experienced. Other patients may share your diagnosis and treatment options. But you may have vastly different perceptions, discomforts, supports and outcomes.

- There are a number of cancer organizations that do a great job of accurately representing the facts. So, in addition to exploring the basics here, you may wish to visit the following sites for in-depth information:

American Cancer Society: www.cancer.org
National Cancer Institute: www.cancer.gov
