Diagnosing Cancer
This section provides information on the following topics:
Newly Diagnosed: First Steps to Take:  This section helps answer the most common questions people have after receiving a diagnosis of cancer, including how to find medical care and support.
When the Doctor Says Cancer:  For people newly diagnosed with cancer, learn more about finding support, seeking a second opinion, and organizing your cancer care.

Staging:  Staging is the process of describing the size and location of the tumor(s) and whether the cancer has spread to other parts of the body. This section provides an overview of staging.
