Telling people you have cancer can be more draining than the diagnosis itself. There's a better way than one painful phone call at a time. Jennifer Omholt shares a strategy for delivering the news while protecting your emotional reserves: a single email announcement, centralized updates through tools like CaringBridge and MyLifeLine, and clear communication boundaries. Practical advice most cancer guides skip entirely. From JUST DIAGNOSED: A Survivor's Guide to Navigating Cancer by Jennifer Omholt — journalist and 24-year stage 3 breast cancer survivor. Foreword by Debu Tripathy, MD (MD Anderson Cancer Center). Distributed by Simon & Schuster.
