Dr. Hobdy’s advice to those facing cancer —

1. Be informed as much as possible about your cancer care.

2. Take it one day at a time.

3. It is important to have some kind of support system in place.

4. Don’t be ashamed of having a cancer diagnosis — it is not your fault.

5. Take care of your body – eat healthily, exercise if you can, get enough rest and minimize stress.
