Coping with cancer and your emotions
We are here to help with the emotional and practical issues you and your loved ones might face following a cancer diagnosis. How we feel can affect us both physically and emotionally. It helps to be open and honest about how you feel. There is no right or wrong way to do this – do whatever feels right for you. Support groups and online communities can be a good way to talk to people in a similar situation. It’s important to look after yourself too. Try to take regular break
