When you've been diagnosed with cancer, life becomes a roller coaster of overwhelming questions and emotions. How do I understand my insurance? How do I choose a physician? What is the best treatment plan? How do I manage symptoms and side effects? Then there are the questions that tend to be avoided. How do I deal with my feelings? How do I keep my spirits up? How do I address intimacy and sexuality? What if my cancer recurs? As an award-winning oncology nurse and a cancer survivor, Deborah Gomer understands the questions and the emotions. She understands the need to take control of that roller coaster.
