A cancer diagnosis changes your life. It can take time to assimilate what it means to you, who you are and what’s next for you. The bumps in the road may be numerous and don’t end even when treatment is over, for some this may be the most difficult time. To have help, support and guidance from a cancer coach can be invaluable. Cancer coaching is an emerging field, like health and life coaching, but it focuses on the unique needs and concerns of cancer patients, survivors, and caregivers. A cancer coach can help throughout any stage of diagnosis, both for patients and carers. The coach can help empower you to navigate your diagnosis, treatment, and the impact cancer has on your life and relationships. Additionally, cancer coaches can help connect you with practitioners or services that are geared towards your needs. Everybody’s cancer experience is unique, a cancer coach can help personalise the type of coaching and care you receive.
