At The Gathering Place, we understand that coping with cancer involves the whole person and those they love. Coping includes, but is not limited to:

• Physical Aspects – such as the loss of hair, the need for prosthesis, fatigue, pain, and insomnia

Finding wigs and head scarves
Buying a prosthesis
Finding information on lymphedema
What are the top hospitals for cancer in the United States?

• Emotional Aspects – such as anger, fear, depression, anxiety, sadness in the person with cancer, and everyone around them, including children.

Someone I love is Sick, a book for very young children written by Kathleen McCue on The Gathering Place staff.

• Spiritual Aspects – such as Who am I now? What will happen to me and those I love?
• Legal Aspects - Will I lose my job? Will I lose my house? Should I write a will?
