Who can provide emotional support for someone dealing with colorectal cancer?
A health care team of doctors, nurses, social workers, and others are often the first people a patient turns to for emotional support. Patient-to-patient networks and cancer support groups can allow patients to talk about living with cancer with others who have had similar experiences. CCAC’s website has a listing of support groups in your area that you may wish to access as well as a description of the Cancer Coach Program of which you may wish to avail yourself.
