 Cancer patients often turn to psychological therapies with high expectations, hoping they might cure their cancer or improve their recovery. Surprisingly, both patients and oncologists report moderate to high satisfaction with the results of these therapies1. Here are some key findings:
-    Expectations and Satisfaction:
+Expectations and Satisfaction:
-        Up to 25% of participants expect psychological therapy to cure their cancer, while 75%–100% believe it can complement traditional treatments1.
-        Despite these high expectations, patients and oncologists express satisfaction with psychological therapies.

 While psychological therapies alone may not directly cure cancer, they play a valuable role in improving patients’ overall well-being and supporting traditional treatments. Further research is needed to fully understand their effectiveness and identify specific strategies for optimal outcomes1. If you or someone you know is dealing with cancer, consider seeking professional support to address both physical and emotional aspects of the journey. 🌟
