Cancer Care Mentoring Can Be Very Helpful, Says Dr. Marilyn Joyce

By on Feb 13, 2017 in Blog | 0 comments

Mentorship is popularly defined as a relationship between two individuals who share a desire for development. A mentor is someone who is wiser, who has walked down the road of cancer care whether it is emergency, critical or intensive. Choosing a mentor is itself a big task. When making the decision for cancer care mentoring in Los Angeles, CA, one of the biggest factors to consider is trust. There must be mutual trust between the cancer care mentee and the cancer care mentor. Clarity One of the benefits of cancer care mentoring is clarity. Through a methodical engagement with the mentor, the mentee will understand the purpose of the cancer treatment and care exercise. The mentee will understand the details, the possible end result and will learn to anticipate and accept the final outcome of the cancer treatment and care process. Wider network By engaging the mentor and other mentees, the mentee becomes a member of a whole new circle of well meaning friends. Cancer care mentoring is built on the foundation of knowledge exchange and openness. Knowing more people who are battling a similar medical condition like cancer, listening to how they are working towards victory, is not only relieving but it also eliminates the feeling of alienation that some cancer patients are known to impose on themselves. Cancer care mentoring pulls you from that cowering position behind a wall and into the world. It is the nicest thing. Access to newer resources Most journeys have stopovers, especially if the journeys are undertaken over a long distance. Cancer care mentors have travelled over long distances and their experience has exposed them, in one way or another, to a whole world of cancer care tips. These resources are at an arm’s length of the mentee. There are a lot more benefits of cancer care mentoring. To all cancer patients undergoing treatment and care at Kick Cancer in the Can, Dr. Marilyn Joyce strongly advocates for Cancer care...

Stress Management for Cancer Patients and Survivors

By on Feb 10, 2017 in Blog | 0 comments

A cancer diagnosis can cause a lot of emotional distress that can lead to anxiety or depression. The life of a cancer patient may seem to change significantly in a short period of time. The changes that are happening in the body may affect his or her self esteem. Work life may be disrupted, and may cause frustrations amongst friends and family which may distress the cancer patient further. Support from Family and Friends Social support is important in keeping stress and depression at bay. When there are people to talk to and interact emotional distress is minimized. Friends and family can also help the patient to take practical steps to overcome new challenges that will help improve quality of life. Destructive Behavior It is important to deal with depression and stress at its onset. Sometimes depression may seem like a normal part of the problem that the cancer survivor has to go through. However, it can lead to destructive habits that can worsen the situation. Alcohol and substance abuse may become a problem, as the patient seeks to either deal with the distress, or self medicate to cope with painful symptoms of the disease. Stress Management There aren’t many studies that have exhaustively explored the subject of the importance of stress management for cancer survivors. However, a few studies show that it can help to reduce the rate of growth of tumors. The results of the study indicate that stress hormones such as norepinephrine can promote tumor angiogenesis and metastasis. Whether you have just been diagnosed with cancer, are undergoing treatment, or you are a survivor, it is wise to consider an intensive mentorship program. Through the intensive mentorship program, those struggling to overcome cancer can learn strategies that will help them cope with the symptoms, as well as the emotional distress triggered by the...
