Better response from medical treatment - Patients enhance healing by developing skills that help them fight the disease and the courage to deal with treatments. They usually require fewer days of hospitalization and less pain medication, thus their medical costs are reduced. Lessening of fears - We help people deal with negative emotions. Hope is restored and they develop the freedom to live a full life again. We assist patients by improving their coping mechanisms, help them find direction, and become active participants.
Families also develop excellent supportive skills and understanding.
If you are like the hundreds of cancer patients and caregivers we have assisted since 1978, you may be overwhelmed with a sense of helplessness and fear. Nearly all those diagnosed with cancer will feel a loss of control and will have a reduced desire to live. Stress is associated with the medical treatment of cancer and this added stress compounds the disease. Families and patients become frustrated and lost in the maze of cancer related organizations and their functions. The services outlined are tailored to your needs.
