Cancer diagnoses can herald looming life-and-death battles, often won, but some survivors are left traumatized by the fight.
Cancer patients commonly walk away from life-saving chemotherapy and radiation treatments having developed post-traumatic stress disorder.
Duke University has created the Cancer Distress Coach app to help.
Based on a U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs app designed for soldiers, the Distress Coach app is helping those who’ve battled cancer, and it’s downloadable on Android and iOS. Duke’s new medical application has the potential to be adopted by clinical centers worldwide.
