Stomach Cancer

Patient Support

Gastrointestinal cancers hit many people hard. You may blame yourself for your disease, or even feel guilty or ashamed. You may find that cancer treatment causes intense psychological consequences and disruptions in your relationships with family and friends. Common feelings include depression, anxiety, mood swings, and fears of a cancer recurrence or death. These emotions do not automatically go away once treatment is over.

The staff at SCCA can help you deal with the emotions that surround your cancer, even after you are cured or are in remission. After treatment is over, it may take time for life to get back to normal. You may feel the need for support from a mental health professional or a support group.

SCCA has social workers, psychiatrists and psychologists, and pastoral services available.
