A recent study by the Cleveland Clinic found that it took an average of six to eight weeks from diagnosis to treatment in major cancer centers in the United States. The wait can be even longer if you are referred to a large cancer center from a community hospital. Easy access to Dr. Google can make the anxiety even worse as you don’t have the ability to put the information in the right context. So you need to be mindful about not jumping to conclusions. Take the time to take care of your mind and body. Gather your resources. Take more care of your nutrition and hydration. Stop smoking if you do smoke. Learn to meditate.
