My cancer diagnosis affected not just me. It was also an emotional rollercoaster for my family and caregivers. Feelings such as anxiety, distress, and depression are absolutely normal during such a life-changing experience. Your home, school and work life balance can be affected. It is very important to recognize these changes and get help rather sooner the later. While your treatment targets the cancer specifically, the overall experience doesn’t leave the mind, spirit or emotions untouched. Help can be anything from doctors, nurses, self help groups or counselors to friends, neighbors or fellow church members.
