Thank you @Romla, that's a very interesting article. I particularly like the bits on coping and post traumatic growth.
Post traumatic growth is significant to cancer diagnosis due to the potentially life threatening nature of the diagnosis. Individuals may be forced to consider their own mortality and may adapt by altering the way they relate to others, the world, and even themselves.
That puts it very well. It's not the Pollyanna, all's right with the world approach, it can be immensely rewarding but it's not something you can do when depressed, fatigued and at a low ebb generally!
