They state that they help give counseling to those with cancer and their caregivers. But they don’t make public one important piece of information: if you suffered from depression prior to the cancer diagnosis, they will not help you. I was told I was too sad. They only feel like it’s a good fit to help people who are not devastated by the diagnosis.
