One of the guidebooks provides this advice to patients faced with advanced cancer: "You’ve struggled with the diagnosis, treatment, and maybe the recurrence of cancer. Now doctors may have told you that you have advanced cancer. They may have said that your cancer is not responding to treatment and that long-term remission is no longer likely. Or they may have said they have run out of standard treatment options. However you learn the news, it can be devastating to you and your loved ones. Often it’s hard to believe or accept at first. Having advanced cancer can bring anxiety and uncertainty to your life. But some people with advanced cancer live far longer than expected. And remember, you are still in control of your choices and actions. Having an advanced disease can be a time of personal growth. It can even be a time of second chances. Many people say they started to see life in a new way after learning that their cancer had progressed despite treatment. They realized the importance of making the most of each day. This guide stresses four main points: Learning more about ways you can help yourself may ease some of your concerns. Your treatment may change, but as always, you deserve to ask for and receive good medical attention from your health care team and support from your caregivers. It’s important to talk about your worries, frustrations, and problems, and get support from others. In fact, it may be one of the best things you can do for yourself. As your medical care changes, you still have many choices. You can choose the way you wish to live each day." * This is a privately authored news service and educational publication of Progressive Management.

From the first emotions after learning the cancer diagnosis, through the turmoil of advanced disease, every aspect of cancer support is covered. The first chapter states: "Cancer will change your life. Millions of Americans alive today have a history of cancer. For them, cancer has become a chronic (on-going) health problem, like high blood pressure or diabetes. Just like everyone, people who have cancer must get regular checkups for the rest of their lives, even after treatment ends. But unlike other chronic health problems, if you have cancer you probably won’t need to take medicine or eat special foods once you have finished treatment.If you have cancer, you may notice every ache, pain, or sign of illness. Even little aches may make you worry. You may even think about dying. While it’s normal to think these thoughts, it’s also important to focus on living. Although some people do die of it, many with the disease are treated successfully. Others will live a long time before dying from it. So, try to make the most of each day while living with cancer and its treatment. People respond to cancer in many ways. This guide was written to help you learn from other people with cancer. Many people have helped write this guide—patients, their family members, and friends. You will see their comments in all sections of the guide. Finding out how others respond to cancer might help you understand your own feelings. And learning how others manage the special problems that cancer brings might help you find ways to cope with the problems that come along for you." * This is a privately authored news service and educational publication of Progressive Management.
