It is important for you to accept these acts of kindness, as it allows you to keep in contact with others and makes others feel helpful. So many times those that care about you the most feel very isolated and helpless. Friends, family, church, and community support are all very valuable means of strength. Some patients and families may experience a more difficult time coping with the stresses of cancer and cancer treatment, and support from others is not enough. In this event, your doctor and nurses can refer you to Tennessee Oncology Psychological Services that can offer individual and family counseling.
