Since right after my SCT 💚I've been in psychological therapy with an oncology specialist counselor, and has helped me BIG TIME. Feels great to talk with somebody who understands what you're going through and guides you using different techniques to deal with stress, anxiety, acceptance, etc. I have a Zoom session once a month and always looking forward to talk with her every time. Thanks UCSF for having this kind of programs!💚

I was seeing a mental health counsellor,Occupational Therapy and
Physiotherapy counsellor in the beginning and it seemed to help. There’s nothing wrong or embarrassing about seeing a counsellor.

Hi Donna, I can understand your doctors concern and think that it might be helpful to have someone to talk to and express your concerns about your health and treatment. It can't hurt to try it as I think that stress only ads to the problem and does not help your recovery. One day at a time.
