AA...good question and one I've begun thinking about myself since finishing treatments. I was offered nothing in the way of couseling but truth be told I don't think I needed it as much then as when tx ended.
I really was'nt prepared for the onslaught of emotions I experienced when that last herceptin was given, or feeling every ache was cancer with no reassurance to speak of.
In terms of when I was first dx I'd have to answer NO...I did not have enough couseling but would have liked more time to ask questions.
