What
NOT To Say To A Cancer Survivor Kathy
on WebMagic
"You may not realize this (or you may have just
forgotten), but we hang on every word you say.
We take everything literally. We watch the expression on
your face and the way your eyes move when you talk to us. You can make or break our spirit with a
word or a look.
We know you're very busy and that you are overworked,
exhausted and probably w-a-y under
compensated, but I'm fighting for my life here. Please choose your words
carefully, let the
compassion that led you into medicine show in your eyes, and
give me a hug or squeeze
my hand now and then.
And whatever you do, don't ever be guilty of saying that you
don't want to give a patient "false hope." There's no such thing. A miracle could be just around the
corner. It's happened before
(think Gleevec), and it will happen again and again and
again."

Clinical Trials for Lymphoma
These tools will enable you to
quickly locate clinical studies that may be appropriate for your
patients, and help to make progress against the disease.
Clinical Trials of Interest for Lymphoma
Perhaps the sheer number of trials for
lymphoma is an obstacle to enrollment? That, and the complexity of
evaluating each and how it may relate to one's circumstance and
treatment goals.

Communicating prognosis requires careful
tailoring to individual patient's preferences for
more or less information and balancing the needs for clear
information while maintaining
hope," the researchers write.
