I came across this article and I believe it is so important for people to talk about what they are going through and to get advice from people who have been through it before. The article mentions organizations where new patients can go to get a professional coach.

Another great place where people can meet to join others who have or are affected by cancer is Gilda's Club of Seattle. Gilda's club provides a meeting place for people living with cancer and their families and friends to go for social support. It is also free of charge. You can find out more information about Gilda's Club at http://www.gildasclubseattle.org/.


Here is the article I referenced above...
