    In addition to the physical rigors of battling cancer, patients often face difficult internal dilemmas. Depression, anxiety, insomnia, feelings of isolation, and other emotional challenges may accompany a diagnosis and follow a patient through treatment and even into remission. Don’t let your diagnosis defeat you. Instead, let the information given to you by doctors and healthcare providers guide you through important life decisions and remind you that you are strong, alive, and moving forward.

    Emotional support for cancer patients is designed to offer hope and a better quality of life for people directly and indirectly affected by cancer. Take a look at our directory of individuals and organizations that are devoted to helping you and your loved ones cope with the emotional turmoil associated with the disease of cancer.
