A new diagnosis of cancer can be a shock, making you feel out of control and overwhelmed. Getting informed can help alleviate these feelings. Remember, very few cancers require emergency treatment; you have time to learn about your diagnosis and treatment options, ask questions, and get a second opinion.
Ask Questions
The best way to approach your battle against cancer is to arm yourself with information.
What is cancer?
What are the facts about my type of cancer?
What are the treatment options offered for my type of cancer?
What is a clinical trial, and how can I participate?
These are all important questions and the dedicated staff at the Marin Cancer Institute is here to answer them and any other questions you may have. With our comprehensive combination of support services and outstanding physicians, everything in our power will be done to ease your mind and spirit while we heal your body.
