Megan J. Shen, PhD, a social psychologist and health communication researcher, has been told repeatedly that the words “you have cancer” often create immensely negative emotions such as overwhelm, fear, anger, stress or even depression. These emotional reactions are normal and part of most patients’ experience — but there are ways to find support. With May being Mental Health Awareness Month, it is critical to raise awareness for patients and those supporting them. One major challenge is that patients’ experiences of these negative emotions can make it hard to process all the information their oncologist presents to them. Prior research shows that when cancer patients’ difficult emotions (such as fear, anxiety and worry) are too high, it can hinder their ability to engage in cancer treatment decision-making. This is problematic because this is occurring at the beginning of treatment when rapid-fire decision making must occur to determine next steps in treatment. So, how do you cope with the aftermath of a cancer diagnosis? Read and learn how to find support <https://secure.fredhutch.org/site/R?i=bS6Oth4iq7QXEYeyF-rBOnTNWJ3qU6-09B8on0ZEXEwyRIYYtmPFKA> and allow yourself to engage in treatment decision-making in an informed way. ________________________________ DAISY nursing award turns 25 <https://secure.fredhutch.org/site/R?i=xRPDzckKS9BKXEj8RmX2b3RKwPqLrRqU0J5nsFoIcqK1x1wJpCDaxw> Photo by Stefan Muehleis / Fred Hutch News Service The Barnes family created the DAISY Foundation and the award <https://secure.fredhutch.org/site/R?i=2EQnbrXLHuzF79Ru8gLVlQyWfduV8ZJQbNIXaokQJSolQQuNcDKEuw> — DAISY is an acronym for Diseases Attacking the Immune System — to honor their son J.
