All questions · How you are actually doing

Should I talk to someone about how I feel?

If you are asking the question, it is worth doing. Most people wait to be offered this kind of help, and it is rarely offered, so it sits there unused.

Ask your team what is available here. Many centers have psycho-oncology, social work, or counseling at no extra cost, and you do not have to be in crisis to use it.

Written by two physicians. Checked against patient information from the US National Cancer Institute and Cancer Research UK.
