Diagnosis

 

Cancer diagnosis is one the most stressful experience in cancer patient’s life. Being in a support group helps survivors, patients cope with emotional trauma caused by the disease. While some people experience shock, anger, and disbelief, others may feel intense sadness, fear, and a sense of loss. Even the most supportive family members and friends cannot understand exactly how it feels to have cancer, this can sometimes lead to feelings of loneliness and isolation.
