Hello everyone! Welcome to my first blog post for my inquiry project this year. My question is: “How does receiving a cancer diagnosis affect the psychological, emotional, physical, and mental well-being of patients and their families, and what strategies help them cope with these challenges?”
I chose this as my question as a close loved one of mine recieved a cancer diagnosis just under two years ago, and it continues to be a constitent ongoing factor in many peoples lives. Through this project I hope to learn more and create a safe space for those who may be going through something similar. I would also like to learn more about what truly goes on emotionally, physically, psychologically, and mentally when a tragedy like this occurs.
I am looking forward to researching throughout the semester!
Hey Rhea, you have a bodacious and fascinating blog post.
