A cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming, but there are some tips that may help you and your loved ones cope. First of all, it’s important to learn about your diagnosis so you can ask your doctor important questions and make informed decisions. Keeping friends and family close is also critical for many patients dealing with leukemia. Your loved ones can provide practical support, such as taking care of errands while you’re undergoing treatment or driving you to appointments, and emotional support if you’re feeling overwhelmed. There are also likely local support groups in your area, which can be a great way to share information with people who are on the same journey as you.
