NEWS POST - TOGETHER WE CAN COPE
Cancer patients who turn to Chai Cancer Care recognise
that they can help give them back control over their lives thanks to their knowledge and experience.
At Chai, they know that one can recover from many cancers. They really do know that cancer patients who adopt an active role in their own recovery can have a positive impact on the quality of their lives.
As medical advances facilitate the survival for more cancer patients, Chai Cancer Care’s role is ever more critical. Through their education and awareness programmes they keep the Jewish Community up-to-date with the latest developments in cancer treatment and care.
They offer a holistic approach, treating the ‘patient’ rather than the ‘disease’. They also have complementary therapies and physical and psychosocial support, improve quality of life and facilitate rehabilitation. Research demonstrates that relief from stress and anxiety can promote healing.
Utilising their national and international connections, they can put patients in touch with the right cancer specialist and treatment for their particular illness and provide information that facilitates considered choice and control over treatment. Through education and awareness campaigns, they encourage and facilitate proactive cancer prevention, detection and early diagnosis.
Chai is committed to involving the patient and their loved ones in the healing process and to encouraging a positive attitude.
The magnificent 0.6 acre Chai Cancer Support Centre offers a haven of tranquillity and respite from the effects of this devastating illness. Everyone who walks into the Centre for the first time comments on the space, light and atmosphere of calm.
