Psycho-oncology

Recently I was invited and accepted to a Facebook Group Psycho-oncology Professional Network

I was pleased to see professionals considering the psychological/emotional component of physical symptoms, especially for chronic conditions, such as Cancer.  I'd like to see this approach used on all chronic conditions.

I thought I'd learn more about Psycho-Oncology and here's what I found.  I hope you find this information helpful.

The picture shown is of Jimmie C. Holland - a founder of the field of psycho-oncology.
