Researching Your Cancer Diagnosis? Avoid These Mistakes (Ch. 4) #winningcancer
Up at 2 a.m. searching the internet for answers? You’re not alone. But the web is filled with misinformation, worst-case scenarios, and conflicting advice—much of which can leave you feeling more frightened and overwhelmed than informed. In Just Diagnosed, Jennifer Omholt explains how to separate trustworthy information from noise. You’ll learn how to evaluate health websites, recognize potential biases and commercial interests, and identify the sources cancer experts trust most. From the National Cancer Institute and Mayo Clinic to Memorial Sloan Kettering and MD Anderson, you’ll discover where to find reliable, evidence-based information that can help you make informed decisions with confidence. Knowledge is one of the most powerful antidotes to fear. 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.
