Keshav Sharma, Academic Peer Reviewer at Journal of Psychosocial oncology Research and Practice shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Cancer is not just a medical journey. It is an emotional, psychological, and deeply human experience.
On this World Psycho-Oncology Day 2026, we bring attention to what often goes unseen the fear after diagnosis, the anxiety during treatment, the silence of caregivers, and the quiet exhaustion of healthcare providers.
Why does this matter?
Because healing is incomplete without addressing the mind.
What is psycho-oncology?
It is the integration of mental health into cancer care, supporting patients, families, and professionals across every stage of illness.
When is it needed?
Not just at the end. Not just in crisis. But from the very beginning… and often, long after treatment ends.
Who is it for?
For anyone whose life has been touched by cancer.
The need of the hour is simple yet urgent:
To move beyond ‘be strong’ and create spaces where people can be real, vulnerable, and supported.
At OncoPsychCare, we believe: You are more than your diagnosis. And your emotional experience deserves care, attention, and dignity.
This is not extra care. This is essential care.”
