Subject: When cancer returns: How to cope with cancer recurrence
Cancer is a very depressing diagnosis. Being diagnosed a second time after recurrence is even more so. Mayo Clinic has some great advice on how to deal with the information that the disease has come back. After dealing with all of the treatment the first time and not knowing if it can work, it is common for a second diagnosis to be even more devastating. Mayo Clinic’s main advice is to take it one day at a time and stay strong.
Key Takeaways:
- Your cancer is back, and so are the shock and fear that came with your first diagnosis.
- The distress you feel is normal — some say the second cancer diagnosis can be more distressing than the first.
- Your cancer can recur in the same place it was originally located, or it can migrate to other parts of your body.
"The distress you feel is normal — some say the second cancer diagnosis can be more distressing than the first."
