“What a treasure! A blow-up of the cover should be posted by the front entrance of all cancer centers… an invaluable gift.”
—Donald I. Abrams, MD, Professor Emeritus of Medicine, UCSF, Integrative Oncology Specialist
Just Diagnosed: A Survivor’s Guide to Navigating Cancer is the first comprehensive guide devoted to the critical early weeks after diagnosis—a time when clear, trustworthy direction is most needed and least available. Combining medical accuracy, integrative tools, and survivor wisdom, it helps newly diagnosed cancer patients and caregivers replace paralysis with purpose.
Jennifer Omholt is a longtime journalist, 24-year stage 3 breast cancer survivor, and the author of Just Diagnosed: A Survivor’s Guide to Navigating Cancer. Written from both lived experience and extensive research, the book offers practical guidance and emotional support for newly diagnosed cancer patients and caregivers navigating the overwhelming first weeks after diagnosis. Just Diagnosed features a foreword by Debu Tripathy of MD Anderson Cancer Center and endorsements from Jun J. Mao of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and Lorenzo Cohen of MD Anderson Cancer Center, along with other leading experts in integrative oncology, survivorship, and patient-centered cancer care.
