About the presentation:
The presentation will explore post-traumatic stress disorder and how it affects cancer patients. What are the risk factors, the diagnosis, treatment, support and integrative approaches for cancer patients suffering from this disorder.

These include their diagnosis, their fear of recurrence, the stresses of treatment, the changes in their self-image, their social and emotional isolation. PTSD symptoms can include flashbacks, avoidance behaviours, negative changes in thought and mood.
