A blood cancer diagnosis can have a profound impact – not only on your health, but also on your mental well-being and your relationships.
After the initial shock of diagnosis or treatment, the physical and emotional adjustment continues. But while you’re adjusting on the inside, the outside world often expects life to simply return to “normal.” This disconnect can be hard to explain – and even harder to navigate with the people closest to you.
You will hear about:
- Common psychological responses to living with blood cancer
- Managing the adjustment between before & after diagnosis
- The impact on relationships & communication
- Strategies to support you and your family
- How to get help
Guest speaker:
- Dr Charlotte Tottman (Clinical Psycho-Oncologist)
Dr Tottman provides psychological treatment for cancer-related distress. Charlotte works with cancer patients, their family members, and the people that care for them, at all stages of their cancer experience.
