Dealing with cancer can cause intense emotions. 35 to 45 per cent of all cancer patients experience significant emotional distress at some point.

BC Cancer counsellors are masters- and doctorate-trained health professionals with expertise in cancer treatment, who can help you cope with emotions and concerns, such as:

• Fear, anxiety and depression
  
• Family tensions 
• Relationship problems 
• Lifestyle changes 
• Financial stressors
  

Individuals, couples, caregivers and families can talk to our counsellors in-person or over the phone, or attend counsellor-led support groups at our regional centres, throughout cancer treatment and beyond.
