"A diagnosis of cancer is an important emotional impact for both patients and their families, reactions of fear, uncertainty, disbelief, anger or sadness are part of the normal emotional process and vary their intensity throughout the disease" , as pointed out by the psycho-oncologist Sonia Abellán.
When the intensity of the emotions is excessive and produces great discomfort or suffering in the patient and family, or when maladaptive reactions or psychopathological disorders appear, professional intervention is advisable.
On the other hand, an oncological process also involves changes at the couple, family, social and work levels.
These changes can produce imbalances that require specific support.
In this sense, the social worker Lidia Valero has explained that the free psychological care service is, for its consolidation and trajectory, one of the most significant of the AECC: "It is an important component of the care that the entity offers to cancer patients and their relatives, through which they can be heard and understood, and develop resources that allow them to face new and complex situations that arise after the diagnosis, "he said.
The AECC leads the effort of Spanish society to reduce the impact caused by cancer and improve the lives of people.
