New research out of the Huntsman Cancer Institute shows the need for more mental health treatment when it comes to patients, particularly those with Hodgkin Lymphoma diagnoses.
"I was diagnosed May 5th with Hodgkin Lymphoma," said Gretchen Baldwin, a registered nurse working at Memorial Hospital in Rock Springs, Wyoming."I wish people would talk more about it. When you think of cancer, you think of people losing their hair or whatnot, but going through cancer, it really opened my eyes of what you really go through."
She says she gets overly anxious when coming down with a cold or some simple ailment, worried it may be cancer coming back. "There’s been so many studies done on just the physical effects of cancer, but nobody has explored the topic of psychosocial mental health well-being, so I think this an important first step," Tao said.
