Importance of Mental Health

Because we often deal with many life stressors simultaneously, it is easy to ignore the signs of poor mental health. When I was diagnosed I had been through several life stressors such as the work environment. I ignored the fact that I was not dealing with certain issues well and masking it with bad habits. Being mentally strong and healthy is a big factor in the cancer journey and ultimately in recovery. It is easy to fall back into bad habits, but fight the urge and seek professional help if necessary. Dealing with the diagnosis itself is tough enough.
