It is essential to know how to cope with the discovery of cancer. Most people feel overwhelmed, confused, and they experience frequent changes of mood. Some people may find their feelings of disbelief to make it difficult for them to talk about their illness with their family and friends. Other people feel an overwhelming urge to talk about it with everyone around them. Many people cope with their illness by not wanting to know anything about it, while others go crazy researching anything they can find. Some family members and friends may deny the fact that someone close to them has cancer. It is important to support them and listen to what they are going through. It is also important to realize that it is not a sign of failure to ask for help or to feel unable to manage on your own.
