Coping after surgery

How will I cope emotionally?

  • Your emotional recovery is just as important as your physical recovery.
  • You may have feelings of fear, sadness, or anger.
  • Ask for help from family and friends.
  • You may wish to speak to an Oncology Nurse from the Breast Cancer Program.
  • Feel free to ask questions to help you understand your diagnosis, treatment and decision-making.
  • You may also contact the Patient & Family Support Program at 416-480-4623 or ask your oncology nurse to refer you.
