  1. The Importance of Breast Cancer Survivor Support Medical treatments help women through the physical toll that breast cancer takes, but they often can not heal the mental and spiritual wounds it leaves behind. Emotional breast cancer survivor support shows each woman that she has a community that is there for her, helping her manage the scars that do not show up physically. Breast Cancer Survivor Support There are many different ways to provide and receive support. For example, survivors may: Attend in-person and virtual support groups. ● Receive assistance from friends and family. ● Read written resources with helpful advice. ● Each of these sources of support can help women and their loved ones navigate through this life-changing situation – even through the most unexpected aspects of the diagnosis, treatment, and recovery from breast cancer Oklahoma. Building Relationships with Cancer Support Groups OKC By attending a support group, women are able to share stories, advice, and resources with other survivors who truly understand what they are going through. Whether this group is in-person or online, survivors are given a space to build strong and supportive relationships with other survivors. Emotional and Practical Support from Individuals When women are fighting breast cancer, support from loved ones can provide the strength needed to get through hard times. Friends and family can give emotional support by being there, ready to listen. They can also provide practical help by handling chores, cooking meals, helping with childcare, and more. Resources from Organizations, Health Centers, and More This diagnosis can completely change someone’s life, and the questions that arise can add extra stress. Patient advocacy groups, cancer support organizations, hospitals, and cancer centers often provide digital resources and helpful information that can help survivors and their families navigate the situation.
