“You have cancer.”
Few phrases hit harder
or leave you feeling more lost.
“What a treasure! A blow up of the cover should be posted by the front entrance of all cancer centers. Just Diagnosed is an invaluable gift to people commencing their cancer journey who seek to increase their sense of control and become an active participant on their care team. Incredibly complete, detailed, user-friendly and empowering!”
