Millions of people alive today have faced a diagnosis of cancer. Some of them are newly diagnosed or are undergoing treatment. After a diagnosis of cancer, one may feel shock, disbelief, fear, anxiety, guilt, sadness, depression, and anger. Each person may experience some or all of these feelings. People with cancer typically feel the sooner they get rid of the cancer, the better. They may feel rushed to make decisions. People facing cancer often find themselves facing the possibility of their own death. At first, some focus on dying from cancer instead of living with cancer. This new book presents research issues on this topic.
