Right from when they are diagnosed to when they undergo chemotherapy/radiotherapy sessions, cancer patients go through a lot – both physically and mentally. The concerns can range from shock over their predicament, denial, and the fear of possibly facing death in addition to stress over mounting treatment costs.
Cancer patients and their families often find themselves stuck in a loop of sadness and uncertainty, where positivity and the drive to overcome are seldom found. Cancer patients often get exhausted worrying about their prognosis, and even if they undergo treatment promptly, their decaying mental state may not allow them to be healed holistically. That is, a cancer patient is as emotionally vulnerable as they are physically vulnerable.
It is in this scenario that the services of a cancer coach become pertinent in the recovery of cancer patients. While the concept is new to India, it has shown promise in the case of countries in the West.
A cancer coach acts as a guide, a friend and a partner in your recovery from cancer. A cancer coach helps the cancer patient and their family by providing counselling sessions, nutrition plans, financial advice, and in many cases can act as a bridge between them and the oncologist.
A cancer coach can help the patient navigate the ABCs of cancer treatment – from sorting financial options to getting different medical opinions, cost of those opinions, finding the most cost-effective solution for every problem that arises due to the disease, etc. can be handled by a cancer coach with the guidance of an expert oncologist.
