Cancer support services help patients manage the impact that cancer can have on a person’s emotional and physical well-being as well as their lifestyle and relationships. Having a psychologist who is trained in the treatment of oncology and hematology patients can be of great benefit to those looking for support related to the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Many patients also find psychological support helpful as they transition from active treatment and continue on their survivorship journey.
