1. Find the best doctor you can find, then get a second opinion.
2. Take charge of your own treatment in partnership with your chosen doctor.
3. Seek reliable online support like ABLCS.
4. Rely on family and friends because they want to help.
5. Find your spiritual center whatever that is for you in your life.

Best wishes... Catherine
