How do I manage my gestational trophoblastic tumor on a daily basis?

Because most gestational trophoblastic tumors (GTTs) are treatable and curable, you will only have to manage your GTT on a daily basis after you have received successful treatment.

You should take the time to grieve, take advantage of any support that family, friends, or support groups can provide, and ask for professional help if necessary.
