Does having cancer affect a person's 'body image'?

Yes, having cancer does affect a person's body image. Absolutely because it's a real shock that you've got cancer. You've been told you have cancer and that your body has let you down like this. You've always been invincible, or I had. And then there's dealing with the physical. How you look can be very different when you have cancer, especially if you lose your hair or have surgery. Absolutely.
