Getting a cancer diagnosis and going through treatment can be one of the biggest challenges many people will ever face.

Cancer can affect your emotions as well as your body and it's important to care for your mental health. 

We have information to help you cope with the news that you have cancer and adjust to all the changes this can bring.
