Hi, my name is Paulette. I saw the article about psycho oncology. If it’s available, please consider it. I am seeing a psychologist who is the only psycho oncologist in my network. She is awesome. Believe me, The our last been with her every two weeks as well worth it.

Thank you for sharing this valuable insight about psycho-oncology services. Having access to a specialized psycho-oncologist can make a meaningful difference in managing the emotional challenges that come with a cancer diagnosis. Your experience highlights how beneficial regular mental health support can be during cancer treatment. For others considering this type of care, it's worth checking what mental health professionals are available through insurance networks, as psycho-oncologists bring specialized training in addressing the unique psychological aspects of cancer care.

I live in a remote part of Oregon. Unfortunately we don’t have a “psycho oncologist” in this area. I can surely see how she would be helpful!
