The idea of someway giving back to the Cancer community - the patients going though traumatic treatment, the family members around them going through the uncertainties, the doctors in today's format of treatment not getting consolidated meaningful feedback to do better physical and psychological patient expectation management etc.
My surgeon, who has practiced extensively in U.K. alludes to the point that the patient groups, survivors and the ones going through treatment, are very effective in keeping the over all hope and positivity for the patients to survive the treatment.
After going through Dr. Deepak Chopra's "Quantum Healing" (BTW - one of the best books I have read recently), I seriously tend to believe the frame of mind has a big role to play in healing.
Initial brain storming with my surgeon we think getting some of the corporate hospitals to lend their conference rooms, setting up time with may be monthly frequency, getting the people in there, having a moderated talk and making key points available for all to look at may be good start.
Then, I met a few volunteers from Helpinghands who also have qualified counselors who work for free. They all are giving time to this cause because of their brush with cancer and they want to give some time back.
When I am done with my treatment, and recover a bit of my energy to get on telephone calls, I will reach out to some of my close friends, to have a media partner. Of course creating website + discussion forums is something that can also be done easily.
However, before getting on with this venture, I do want to precisely define the scope and charter of this formation. How much we do that adds value. And how less, that we can sustain.
I do invite ideas in defining this from my readers. Suit me e-mails please !!
