Cancer & Mental Health

November 01 | 2023

You’ve been diagnosed with ovarian cancer; your first thought may be, “What do I do now?” Your first emotions might be fear, sadness, and anxiety. Not only do you feel the effects of these emotions, but so do your friends and family. They may experience their own fears and anxieties because they care about you. You might wonder how you will get through the days, weeks, and months ahead. A diagnosis of cancer can impact every facet of your life. It is essential to recognize when these changes occur and to seek help when you need it. It is also important to remember that you are not alone in this fight against cancer; many resources exist to help you through this journey.
