Trauma that involved physical injuries or disease, can affect the way cancer patients interact with people around them. To overcome this, it is crucial for cancer patients to have a support system to help them through these hard times in their lives.

Going through cancer treatment is very stressful on its own, and it can be even harder if a cancer patient is going through it alone. As Dr. Shyamali Singhal said, nobody has to struggle with cancer and cancer treatment alone: there are a number of cancer support groups a patient can join.
