A study published by JAMA Oncology shows that spouses of cancer patients are at a heightened risk of suicide attempts and death by suicide. A cancer diagnosis can reshape relationships for better or worse, whether they’re family, partners, or friends. How can breast cancer survivors make sure they’re getting the support they need and that their loved ones feel supported, as well? Racquel Williams talks with a panel of survivors and supporters, along with a social worker from The Penn Medicine | Virtua Health Cancer Program, about these crucial relationships through the breast cancer journey. Learn more about these survivors’ missions with The Chrysalis Initiative and Create Urgency. Then, on Shara in the City, Shara Dae Howard visits Unite for HER, a non-profit that provides free integrative care for breast cancer and ovarian cancer patients - from acupuncture to nutrition counseling and much more - and has built a community of support.
