Importance of Emotional Support

Many survivors find the time after treatment to be one of the most challenging periods of their lives. Completing cancer treatment can bring about a range of emotions, both positive and negative. Most survivors recover and adapt. Some people find it helpful to discuss their emotions in a support group or counseling session.
