Struggling to deal with your cancer diagnosis? Is it causing a crisis of your faith and belief systems? You’re not alone…

The ever-present threat of cancer upturns peoples’ lives every single day. You might have received your diagnosis early on, and it’s saved your life. You might have experienced delays in diagnosis for cancer, which has exacerbated the illness, meaning the treatment and prognosis is much more aggressive. Alternatively, it might be your family member who has received the diagnosis. In that case, sending them a cancer care gift would be a kind gesture to show them your support.

Whatever the situation, a diagnosis of cancer is sure to shake your belief system. The question is, why does this happen and how can you tackle it? That’s what we hope to answer today…
