A new cancer diagnosis often comes with shock, fear, and then dozens of micro-decisions. They range from “Do I need a second opinion?“ to “Is there something less aggressive we can try first?” And, for some, "This isn't the treatment response we expected, now what?" Some patients weigh in on every decision; others defer to their doctors. At age 42, Susan was diagnosed with breast cancer and weighed in every step of the way. How involved would you be?

Key Takeaway: Weigh in.

  • Weigh in with information. Know the statistics on your specific cancer. Compare data on the risks and benefits of each treatment option, including the option of doing nothing.
  • Weigh in after knowing all the alternatives, including clinical trial alternatives.
  • Weigh in with insight and support from a patient care community. An online community is usually the easiest way to connect with people who share your health condition.
