3. Emotional impact
4. Sharing your feelings
5. Finding support

Just as every person is unique, so is their reaction to a cancer diagnosis. You may feel fearful, anxious and frustrated after a cancer diagnosis. It is normal to feel a mixture of hope and despair. Sometimes you will feel strong and courageous, while other times you may be very angry or afraid.

Some patients have compared the experience to a roller coaster. Finding ways to cope with the ups and downs of your emotions will help. As a starting point, think about how you have dealt with difficult situations in the past. Knowing what works best for you, and what doesn’t work, can help you deal with the emotions ahead.

Park Nicollet offers patients many forms of support, such as consultations with oncology psychotherapists and spiritual care providers.
