Q: What concrete steps can patients take in the first weeks to steady themselves and move forward?
Patients should take a beat to breathe, gather information from trustworthy sources, seek expert opinions or second opinions if needed, and avoid shouldering the burden alone by inviting support from family, friends, and the care team.

Q: From your experience, what are the most common emotional reactions patients have early on?
