The journey from diagnosis to treatment can be long and extremely difficult. Those who have experienced it know the huge mental and physical resources it requires. X-rays, surgeries, radiotherapy and chemotherapy test the limits of people living with cancer, and each follow-up examination is a reminder that cancer can return. Psychological therapy can provide support during this journey and help us to functionally reinvigorate our new reality by focusing on ourselves rather than the diagnosis. This means that we learn to balance our lives by claiming our right to mental relaxation, joy, and creativity. Psychological therapy helps bring into our lives the nurturing qualities of our own values, which cancer – as a disease – often overshadows.
