Is this available in all countries or only in America?

It’s great that a program like this has been drawn up. Its sad when doctors stop being sensitive to elder patients in terminal illnesses.

What I find sad is when people draw away from cancer patients and their families. When my friend was ill both she and her parents commented on being avoided by people they had known for a lifetime. That seriously hurt their feelings. Always say something rather than nothing even if all you can squeeze out is “I’m sorry to hear you’re ill.”

Being in a kind of healing circle such as this is an excellent idea. When you combine all those approaches rather than concentrating on a single one, surely you increase the odds of getting better faster. I believe your mindset plays a significant role in physical healing although of course sometimes sadly the disease is incurable.

Love this idea- wish that there were more physicians and medical teams which would encourage this type of approach to health, recovery, and wellness. I think that issues like this could make a hugely positive improvement in our medical system.

It is true that love and care, when combined with medication does lead to a beter feeling among patients of any disorder in general…humans are built that way…

Great to hear of this noble program. Also, children of older people suffering from cancer can help in making them feel better by not treating them like just a responsibility and also staying with them rather than just sending them to old-age homes… love is a great medicine after all…
