Michelle's Story - Responding to Losses

It is now a few months since Michelle was given the news that her cancer had progressed. She has been receiving palliative chemotherapy to help control her illness, but is finding that her personal and social relationships are changing. She has requested an appointment to see Dawn Matthews, the Cancer Care Coordinator, as she is feeling very flat and worried about how she is coping. Dawn arranges for Michelle to see her prior to her scheduled chemotherapy.
