Family and friends play a crucial role in supporting a cancer patient's emotional well-being. They can:
Provide a listening ear and validate the patient's feelings. Encourage the patient to express their emotions and seek professional help if needed. Help the patient build a strong support network by connecting them with support groups or counseling services. Promote activities that enhance emotional well-being, such as hobbies, exercise, or spiritual practices.
