Dr. Uma Swamy answered

Local & Online Help: Everyone is different , so there is no one correct answer. There are many local & online resources. Some of the reputable ones are a) american cancer society b) komen foundation also, see if there are local support groups in town. Lastly, consider seeking out a private psychologist.
