Newly Diagnosed — First Steps

Newly Diagnosed — First Steps

A new diagnosis can flood you with information and feelings at once. This is a marathon, not a sprint — and you don't have to figure it out alone. Here's a gentle place to start.

Your name

Diagnosis (in your words)

This week — steady the ground

Pick one trusted source of information and step back from the rest of the internet for now
Ask your clinic for copies of your records and results — keep them in one folder
Start a running list of questions as they come to you, day or night
Tell one or two people you trust — you do not have to carry this by yourself
Ask whether there's a patient navigator or social worker — connecting you to help is their job

Build your small circle

Someone who can help	How they can help (a ride, a call, errands…)

Money & coverage — you have options

Ask your clinic about a financial navigator and any assistance programs
Check whether the drug maker offers a copay or patient-assistance program
Keep insurance cards and key numbers somewhere you can find them fast
