What is the best natural way to deal with the anxiety of a cancer diagnosis of a family member?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Therapy: The American Cancer Society, check on line or your local hospital. Most local hospitals have supports groups If you live near a University that has a Medical School, they probably have a dept of psychiatry/psychology where therapy is offered on a sliding scale fee. Their dept of Oncology may offer services free of charge.
