Coping with Cancer, Part 6 - Cancer and Self-Image
Installment 6 of this 9 part series dealing with the dreaded cancer diagnosis discusses the effects of the disease on the patient's self-image and feelings of self-esteem.
Cancer treatment can extend over weeks or months; side effects may come and go. Side effects can make you feel rotten, even make you think the cancer has returned.
If you cannot seem to regain good feelings about yourself, seek professional counseling or therapy. If your relationship is endangered by the stress of cancer, get professional help. You need each other at this time.
