These changes can cause distress, leading to a loss in confidence and hyperawareness of how one’s body looks. Accepting these changes can take time and can be an emotional process.
Dr Charlotte Tottman will be hosting the upcoming Cancer Council Queensland webinar to discuss managing body image through cancer, as well as strategies to cope with the changes happening in the body. Charlotte is a clinical psychologist who works with cancer patients and their loved ones and carers at all stages of their cancer experience. Having gone through her own cancer experience, Charlotte understands the challenges associated with body image due to changes caused by a cancer diagnosis and treatment.
