Emotional Wellbeing

A cancer diagnosis can impact your emotional wellbeing as well as your physical health. Treatments and their side effects can also affect your emotional wellbeing.

People can experience many different emotions, such as:

• Shock
• Fear
• Guilt
• Anger
• Anxiety
• Sadness

All these emotions are completely normal. They may change over time. Always speak to your hospital team or GP if you are struggling to cope with:

• Your diagnosis or
• Side effects of your treatment or
• Feelings of anxiety or depression.
