This is ofcourse a totally individual choice. Asside from the medical care that can be given, complimentary therapies and talking and coming to terms with any issues can be an excellent way to optimise holistic and total health. Depression can be common when someone is ill, and trauma to the self can also be a great lasting issue. There may be feelings of loss or bereavement, There may also be feelings of isolation.
There are no set rules ofcourse to how each of us reacts and recovers, but a good therapist can go a long way to support and offer confidential space in which you can express your worries.
