Cancer, The Stress Factor
CANCER, THE STRESS FACTOR
Psychologists have developed a list which ranks life events in order of stressfulness.
High up on that list is finding out that you have cancer, and then living with it.
Cancer, other than very localized forms, is a disease that will change your life forever.We
are all changed by finding out we have such a serious illness. We have no choice as to
that. But we do have a choice as to how we are changed. Although some people find it
difficult to make a healthy adjustment, most people do eventually resume living in a
healthy, productive, but often very different way.
There are no simple, easy answers to the problems of having cancer, no rules about
what you should do or how you should think. People you know are often confused about
how to react, and they often cannot understand your feelings or why you may act the way
you do.
This book is a brief outline of what the stress of having cancer can do to people and it
contains some practical ideas which can help you feel more in charge. It is possible to
reduce the harmful effects of the stress, even though the hurt is very real. The more you
know, or at least know where to look, the stronger you’ll be
