Step 4

Talk about your feelings

Being treated for cancer can change the way you feel about things. It can make you feel sad or mad or scared. That's normal. But it can help to talk about it.

Some people talk to their friends or family. Some talk to others who have had cancer or to a counselor. Your nurse or social worker can tell you more.

Many people also have questions about sex and birth control. Talk to your doctor or nurse about your choices.
