Adults living with blood cancer must make decisions about treatment, family, work or school and finances. If your child has been diagnosed, you must make similar decisions for your son or daughter.
Gathering Information and Support
You'll need to choose:
- The oncology practice, hospital or center where your treatment will take place
- The specialist who will develop and coordinate the treatment plan
- The type of treatment
To make decisions, you need information to help you understand your diagnosis and treatment options. Throughout treatment and survivorship, you'll also be making choices about financial considerations and support issues.
