Several strategies can be employed to address the lack of social support for cancer patients:
Support Groups: Joining a support group can provide emotional and practical support from others who are experiencing similar challenges. Counseling: Professional counseling can help patients manage emotional distress and develop coping strategies. Community Resources: Leveraging community resources such as social services, transportation assistance, and home care can offer practical support. Family Education: Educating family members about the importance of their support can improve the patient’s social network.
