Find Emotional Support

The experience of cancer is a stressful one, without a doubt. While life partner, friends and family members are a great source of support, various support groups provide a safe platform to learn from others while sharing experiences with those facing similar obstacles. Support groups can effectively reduce stress, anxiety and emotional distress while improving mood and offering greater quality of life. Oncologists recommend finding emotional support in someone with whom one can talk openly about the things going on in the mind about this serious illness.
