If you have just been diagnosed with breast cancer, the Guide to Understanding Your Emotions will help you make sense of what you are feeling. The six sections of the brochure explain common (and not-so-common) emotions, signs of anxiety and depression, when to consult a healthcare professional, responding to your emotions, understanding your feelings after initial treatment ends and practical strategies for moving forward. As of January 2013, this guide is out of stock, but you can read it online.

The guide was reviewed by a team of healthcare professionals and women affected by breast cancer.
