When a person has anxiety and breast cancer together, they are at increased risk of complications such as decreased quality of life, increased pain, nausea and vomiting, difficulty sleeping, and increased risk of recurrence. Women with breast cancer have been described as being more frequently affected by anxiety and depression than women in the general population. Being diagnosed with breast cancer can lead to serious depression and emotional distress, especially the first year after diagnosis. This group session will be an open and share format with Tanya as facilitator to provide support and information regarding coping strategies to help reduce anxiety and depression.
