This is Psychology: Cancer care and psycho-oncology with Bob Wakeham and Dr. Sheila Garland
About this episode
The episode discusses the role of psychology in cancer care and features personal stories from guests Bob Wakeham and Dr. Sheila Garland.
Psychology Month continues with a look at psychology's role in cancer care. A diagnosis of cancer will affect each person who receives one a little differently. But it will affect everyone. Not just the person with the diagnosis, but the people around them. Family, friends, and co-workers need help as well. Psychologists can play a central role at every stage, from diagnosis to treatment to end-of-life care. Our guests on Mind Full today are friends. Bob Wakeham met Dr. Sheila Garland when he joined her study on insomnia in people who had been diagnosed with cancer. Bob shares his story and experiences with us, and tells us how Sheila's involvement in his life made an enormous difference. Canadian Association of Psychosocial Oncology: https://www.capo.ca/
