I'm sorry to hear that you're facing a cancer diagnosis. It's undoubtedly a difficult time for you right now and natural to want answers. We know that many people struggle during this period of waiting for an accurate diagnosis and many turn to the internet in an effort to find information. Unfortunately, often much of the information they find is outdated, inaccurate, and aimed toward the spectacular. rarely will people find definitive answers pertinent to their situation but what most likely happen is that you'll feel even more anxious.
