ABSTRACT

Any kind of the trauma, including the breast cancer, can easily put a strain on even the best relationships. However, as adult human beings, most of us seldom say how the women's feel – most of us have been taught not to. However, the reality is that each one of us may not necessarily be consciously aware of our unspoken agendas in their entirety, only of parts of them. Also, many of us will probably not have the energy to try to sort out the problems during the breast cancer. In the UK they do not have training in the counselling skills, but they do have some training in the communication and emotional support skills, so it is always worth approaching a breast care nurse at our hospital or clinic – they might well be of help to the women.
