Psycho-Oncology: Psychological Support Through Cancer

A diagnosis splits life in two: before and after. Cancer tests not only the body but the mind, relationships and hope. Psycho-oncology exists so you don't carry that weight alone, for patients and loved ones alike. Here is how I stand with you through this in Caddebostan.

What is psycho-oncology?

It is the specialty that helps people diagnosed with cancer, and their families, cope with emotions that swing between fear, uncertainty, anger, grief and hope. Alongside medical treatment, the aim is to support psychological resilience.

What can it help with?

• The shock of diagnosis, uncertainty and fear of the future
• The stress of treatment (chemotherapy, surgery)
• Changes in body image, identity and relationships
• Grief, loss and the search for meaning
