“Best First Book for a Cancer Patient or Caregiver!”
“As someone who's worked in the cancer field for the last couple of decades, … I have a lot of cancer books on my shelf, both for laypeople and experts, but this one is becoming my favorite to give people. It's written this year, so it's very current, and the author does a wonderful job balancing the personal journey with the technical details, financial costs, and the whole experience of navigating cancer.”

“The news of cancer can leave you feeling as though the ground has dissolved beneath your feet. Just Diagnosed helps restore a sense of direction and control. Compassionate and educational, yet never overwhelming, it breaks an intimidating experience into manageable steps and prepares readers for upcoming decisions … What makes this book especially valuable is its wealth of actionable information. Omholt goes beyond general advice to identify organizations, websites, and other resources readers can turn to for concrete assistance—including help with the financial burdens that often accompany serious illness.”

“Five Stars for Its Practical Wisdom and Integrative Perspective”
“Ms. Omholt discusses nutrition, guided imagery, yoga, Qigong, Reiki, gratitude practices, and other complementary therapies as supportive tools that can work alongside conventional cancer treatment. Her balanced approach emphasizes caring for the whole person—not just the disease—and reflects the growing recognition that emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being all play important roles in the cancer journey.”
