Will this work for a thesis statement on breast cancer

Will this work for a thesis statement on breast cancer?
I am doing a research paper on breast cancer and psychological intervention. This is what I have for my thesis statement,need feedback please...... People survive breast cancer everyday through early detection and treatment, it is also known that psychological intervention can help have a better quality of life, rather than not having the psychological intervention at all.

Sounds as if you have a very interesting outline for your thesis. If you want any more information from a patient's view, go to www.after-cancer.com - hope it is helpful. Verite R

As a breast cancer survivor and the sister, niece, sister-in-law and good friend of breast cancer survivors I can tell you that for many people psychological intervention has no effect on the outcome. None of us met with any other mental health professionals and all coped well with the various treatments we underwent or with continuing our daily lives post treatment. The process of having to go through surgery, chemo and radiation and frequent dr. appointments is physically and financially draining. Add appointments with a mental health professional to that (when this benefit is often not covered by insurance) is almost too much on a person. From my experience, more women seek moral support from family and other women who have been through it before.

I am not sure that is true. The psychology does not stop the pain of going through cancer treatments, the pains of surgery, and the fatigue of radiation. My wife had two psychologists that we had when she first discovered she had cancer. One was more of a spiritual adviser and had a degree in counseling and the other was a psychiatrist. It helped her to cope with the idea of having cancer, but it did little to prevent the pain the treatment had on her body, the physical part of dealing with the disease. Mentally it helped her deal with her mortality. It helped her focus on what she was going through mentally. One on a spiritual level and the other on a mental level. Talking about her fears and seeing them in a different light helped to get her focus on getting well. It would have to be a mental aspect of having a better quality of life, because the physical is still there with all it's aches and pains. The fear is still there even though her psychology intervention has stopped. It helped a little, it got her mind on the right track but the fear never left. She is as afraid as she was before. And she is in more pain than she was before. So, it helped her to see her mortality and put her concentration on getting healthy again. Your thesis sentence needs a lot of work, but I am sure you just wanted us to see your main idea and what you will be writing about. Personally, I don't know if I buy it because in the end you are the one taking those steps, nobody else will be walking in your shoes. The physical pain is there, it is real. If psychology intervention could help with a better quality of life my wife would still be using that kind of therapy, but we really did not find it too useful.
