The first critical step to managing your treatment is making the decision to control the process. The process of making a personal effort to become educated about your diagnosis, your treatment, your health care team, and ways to improve your overall well being. Focus on being less negative and "hold your center". It’s not about making monumental changes but rather small incremental steps such as asking questions or self-educating to gain a sense of confidence and control as you move forward with your treatment and most importantly just breathe and where you can allow yourself to smile and even laugh.
