This is a precious moment, but it is transient. It is a little parenthesis in eternity. If we share with caring, lightheartedness, and love, we will create abundance and joy for each other.
And then this moment will have been worthwhile. Emotional Support. Support Groups. Communities, families and health care personnel need to be aware of preventative measures and early warning signs of cancer in both adults and children.
With early detection most of the common cancers in Zimbabwe are treatable. The Harare Cancer Association has a well stocked library with a qualified librarian on site who helps patients, families and other health care personnel to find books or articles on particular cancers.
The resource center is helping patients and families to learn more about their cancers and other issues related to diagnosis and treatment of cancer. They can get books written by cancer survivors and these books can motivate them and give them tips on how to cope with a cancer diagnosis and treatment.
Cancer patients and their families suffer emotional stress during diagnosis and treatment. The emotional stress continues when they loose part of their body following surgery or loose their hair during cancer treatment. The patients are hospitalized, reside miles away from home and families and or travel long journeys coming to central hospitals for cancer treatment. The Harare Cancer Association will continue to provide social and emotional support to patients, parents and their families.
