Anger can have both positive and negative impacts on cancer treatment. On the positive side, it can motivate patients to take an active role in their treatment and advocate for themselves. However, unmanaged anger can lead to:
Non-compliance: Patients might skip appointments or refuse treatment. Stress: Prolonged anger can increase stress levels, which may negatively impact the immune system. Relationship Strain: Anger can damage relationships with caregivers and healthcare providers, leading to a lack of support.
