Psycho-oncology and emotional health
A diagnosis affects the mind too. Where to find support.
A breast cancer diagnosis affects not only the body but also the mind. Fear, anger, grief, or exhaustion are normal reactions, not a sign of weakness. There is professional help for this.
Psycho-oncology supports patients and their loved ones through the different phases, from diagnosis through treatment and into the time afterward. It helps you cope with fears, carry decisions, and find your footing again.
In many cantons, the Krebsliga offers psycho-oncological counseling, often free of charge. Connecting with others who have been through it can also bring relief. Community, connection, and free support in Switzerland
