A cancer diagnosis can be a devastating experience, one that is life-changing, stressful and all-consuming. The disease not only affects your body, but also your emotions, your mind and your spirit. It impacts all aspects of your life: your marriage, your family, your friendships, your work, your spirituality, even how you relax and receive comfort.
