Abstract "A diagnosis of cancer devastates families, commonly precipitating an existential crisis and challenges of adjustment. A fundamental disruption occurs to the psychosocial aspects of one's life, with a loss of predictability, disruption of ambition and plans, and the heralding of uncertainty. Families are affected as a unit of care rather than as isolated individuals, raising unique communication challenges. Consideration is required as to each individual and their family's strengths and vulnerabilities, coping and capacity to adjust to information"-- Provided by publisher
