Resources
A cancer diagnosis can leave patients and their loved ones feeling frightened, overwhelmed, and unsure where to begin. The Resources section of Just Diagnosed was created to provide practical, compassionate guidance during the critical first weeks after diagnosis. Drawing upon Jennifer Omholt’s experience as a long-term cancer survivor, journalist, and patient advocate, these articles address many of the emotional, medical, organizational, and day-to-day challenges that arise after hearing the words, “You have cancer.” From preparing for oncology appointments and organizing medical information to managing emotional overwhelm and advocating for yourself during treatment, these resources are designed to help patients and caregivers navigate the road ahead with greater clarity, confidence, and support.
