A cancer diagnosis not only impacts physical health, but it can also affect the emotional health of the person living with cancer and their caregivers. This lifechanging experience can bring about a roller coaster of emotions that goes beyond the initial cancer diagnosis. This presentation discusses common cancerrelated stressors and ways to cope to improve your quality of life.
