Many people feel like their world has been turned upside down when they are diagnosed with breast cancer. Not only is the diagnosis a shock, the journey can also be difficult and challenging.
Simply being there to listen can make a world of difference. They can often feel like they have lost control and things are hurtling in all directions around them. Listening allows them to express how they are feeling and this forms part of the processing element.
