Download pdf of Chai's Calendar of Events: May - August 2008 Cancer patients who turn to Chai Cancer Care recognise that we can help give them back control over their lives thanks to our knowledge and experience. At Chai, we know that one can recover from many cancers. We 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 our education and awareness programmes we keep the Jewish Community up-to-date with the latest developments in cancer treatment and care. We offer a holistic approach, treating the 'patient' rather than the 'disease'. Our 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 our national and international connections, we 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, we encourage and facilitate proactive cancer prevention, detection and early diagnosis. We provide a range of expert advisory services; medical, legal, financial and spiritual. Our home support service is available to those clients who are unable to access our sites. There are subsidised charges for some of our services. It is our principle that all members of the Jewish Community should benefit, regardless of their financial means. No one is turned away. |
