Many cancer victims experience stress. Be it emotional or physical, is something we all try to avoid and find unpleasant; however, it is inevitable and part of life. Breast cancer is one of the most stressful events a woman may ever endure. The day cancer treatment ends, a new chapter begins and with it a new set of challenges including fear, anxiety, anger, guilt, grief, and a variety of situational stresses related to job, relationships, and income. Supporting emotional health is a critical first step in the recovery from the devastating effects cancer leaves behind. This kind of support after cancer is not available for many survivors and it is often overlooked. Send Me On Vacation is proud to offer the following programs.
