I found this out firsthand in 2002 when I was diagnosed with HPV and then Cervical Cancer, conditions I knew nothing about. My diagnosis was a wake-up call for me, and I quickly recognized that I had to be my own advocate to understand my diagnosis and what was happening to my body. That moment set me on a path that ultimately saved my life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From my journey, I&#8217;ve learned that being informed and proactive about your health is one of the most empowering steps you can take. Here are ten steps I&#8217;ve taken to advocate for my health that can help you, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Educate_Yourself\"><\/span>1. Educate Yourself&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Knowledge is power! Take the time to research your health condition, understand treatment options, and familiarize yourself with potential side effects. The more you know, the better equipped you are to make informed decisions regarding your treatment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Make_an_Appointment\"><\/span>2. Make an Appointment&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We always find excuses not to see the doctor, but it can save your life. Regular check-ups and timely appointments lead to early detection. My routine screenings helped catch my cancer early, and I&#8217;m here today because of them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Ask_Questions\"><\/span>3. Ask Questions&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Never hesitate to ask about your diagnosis, treatment plan, or prognosis. Your healthcare provider is there to help you, and remember, the more you know, the better, as mentioned above.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Share_Your_Concerns_and_Feelings\"><\/span>4. Share Your Concerns and Feelings&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Being open with my doctor about my worries and emotions made a huge difference. It helped build a bond between us. Consider your doctor as your partner in your health. Don&#8217;t hesitate to voice what&#8217;s on your mind, even if it&#8217;s difficult. Your doctor is there to help you, and understanding your concerns is a part of support.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Ask_for_Options_and_Seek_a_Second_Opinion\"><\/span>5. Ask for Options and Seek a Second Opinion&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re ever uncertain about your doctor&#8217;s recommendations, don&#8217;t hesitate to ask for other options. Explore all available choices to find what feels right for you. And if you&#8217;re still unsure, there&#8217;s absolutely no shame in seeking a second opinion. In my own experience, getting a second opinion helped me better understand my diagnosis and treatment options, giving me the confidence I needed to make informed decisions. Your health is too important to settle, so always feel empowered to explore different options.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Breathe\"><\/span>6. Breathe<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Being faced with an uncertain diagnosis can be overwhelming, stressful, and make you feel powerless. Remember that mindful breathing, even for a few minutes, can help calm your nerves and allow you to think more clearly when faced with tough decisions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Share_with_Your_Inner_Circle_and_Recruit_a_Support_Squad\"><\/span>7. Share with Your Inner Circle and Recruit a Support Squad&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You don&#8217;t have to go through your health journey alone. I leaned on my family, friends, and colleagues every step of the way, and having them by my side made all the difference. Building a strong support system is essential, whether it&#8217;s sharing what you&#8217;re going through, asking for help with daily tasks, or simply having someone to listen. Your health journey will feel much more manageable with the right people by your side.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Be_Present\"><\/span>8. Be Present&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes, I would leave appointments feeling overwhelmed by all the information. It&#8217;s easy to get lost in the details, especially when things are moving quickly. One trick that really helped me was taking notes during appointments. Consider asking if you can record the conversation so you can listen again later. Even better, bring a trusted person with you to help you listen and take notes. Staying engaged and present during your visits ensures you don&#8217;t miss important details that could make all the difference in your care.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Take_Care_of_Yourself_Mind_Body_and_Soul\"><\/span>9. Take Care of Yourself, Mind, Body, and Soul&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Taking care of yourself is about more than just medical treatments.&nbsp; You also need to make sure to nurture your mind, body, and spirit as well. Whether through exercise, reading, or taking time for yourself, it&#8217;s important to prioritize self-care.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Join_a_Support_Group\"><\/span>10. Join a Support Group&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I found such strength in connecting with others who&#8217;d been through similar experiences. Talking with people who understand your struggles can provide hope and be incredibly healing. If you&#8217;re facing a health challenge, consider joining a support group where you can find community, advice, and encouragement.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Taking these steps helped me become an active participant in my health journey\u2014and I&#8217;m still here today because of the choices I made. Remember, your voice is powerful, and advocating for yourself is key to achieving the best possible outcomes. Whether you&#8217;re navigating a new diagnosis or just trying to stay well, these strategies can help you face it all with confidence and strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Hear Joslyn&#8217;s story in this Elsevier podcast episode! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How Elsevier Saved my Life: Joslyn Chaiprasert-Paguio (Podcast)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WDspIXleqpE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"About_the_Author\"><\/span>About the Author<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/joslyn-chaiprasert-paguio-b65a0554\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Joslyn Chaiprasert-Paguio<\/a><\/strong> is a Senior Books Acquisitions Editor who&#8217;s been with Elsevier since 2007, along with being a <a href=\"https:\/\/cervivor.org\/tag\/cervivor-ambassador\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cervivor Ambassador<\/a> &amp; Podcast Host since 2022, where she shares her personal stories of triumph and resilience while providing valuable resources to listeners worldwide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/create\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/hm-healthdigital-multisite.go-vip.net\/osmosisblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/05\/bite-size-lectures-orange-ad.png?w=700\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5197\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/05\/bite-size-lectures-orange-ad.png 700w, https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/05\/bite-size-lectures-orange-ad.png?resize=300,107 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>Access your&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/login?type=create\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">free trial<\/a>&nbsp;now and discover why millions of current and future clinicians and caregivers love learning with us.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cervical cancer survivor Joslyn Chaiprasert-Paguio shares her ten self-advocacy tips to empower patients navigating difficult diagnoses.
