It comes with challenges, sacrifices and way-finding as your loved one progresses through their cancer journey. Read more at www.aic.sg/caregiving/caring-loved-one-cancer on how to care for your loved one with cancer.

During the cancer journey, one may have questions about their general meaning and purpose in life. Some common questions from patients include
"Why me?"
"What did I do to deserve this?"
Fret not, we are here for you! Your doctor or nurse may work with you to identify your goals and options, or they may refer you to a medical social worker or psychologist, who conducts a spiritual assessment by asking you more questions (e.g. your beliefs, your support system).
Furthermore, belonging to a support group is a very effective way to cope with cancer. If you would like to join a lung cancer support group, please email us at leap@nccs.com.sg and look out for our events.

The cancer journey is anxiety inducing for many, with some common concerns being results of medical tests, signs of cancer relapse, finances or side effects of treatment. Anxiety is a very valid emotion that cancer patients commonly go through but for some, the emotion may be overwhelming and impairing. If you require assistance or would like to seek help, please don't hesitate to reach out. Let your doctor know and we will find the best way to help 😊 Read more about cancer and anxiety at www.nccs.com.sg/patient-care/Pages/anxiety.aspx

Cancer can bring about a wide array of emotions. One primary emotion that most cancer patients experience at some point of their cancer journey is sadness. While most people cope with their sadness fairly well, some may experience it for a prolonged period, impairing their day-to-day function. Learn more about the warning signs of depression and ways to deal with it at www.nccs.com.sg/patient-care/pages/depression-and-cancer.aspx. No one should ever have to deal with depression alone 🙂
We will be having our next lung cancer support group session in June (actual date to be confirmed soon). If you are interested, please contact us at leap@nccs.com.sg
