Coping with breast cancer

Stay strong!

A breast cancer diagnosis can be grounds of a broad series of feelings such as rejection, guiltiness, helplessness, worry, panic, and fear. These are all common feelings that breast cancer holders might feel due to being a stressful time for them and people around them. This is why it is very important at that stage to build and maintain a strong support network of relatives and friends. A breast cancer diagnosis should make time to share their feelings with their beloved ones. Co-survivors of cancer may be a relative, friend, colleague or even a member from the health care team. These people are there to help for many reasons such as:

• Providing support throughout the whole experience.

• Helping with daily or other tasks.

• Offering assistance in collecting information concerning breast cancer.

Moreover, talking or seeing a consultant or social worker would help with solving issues that are related or  part of the illness.

Lastly, a discussion with a doctor is one of the best choices that can be taken by the breast cancer holder.
