Welcome to Cancer Connect – supporting patients and their caregivers with original physician authored and reviewed content, daily cancer news, expert commentary and community since 1997.
A new diagnosis of cancer can be a shock, making you feel out of control and overwhelmed. Getting informed can help alleviate these feelings.
