CCF is 10 years old chronologically, while experientially it is 80, as depicted in Figure 1. Sharing and participating in human pain, losses and gains caused by cancer, has been channeled into a movement that attends to nearly 50 cancer patients daily. Conceptually a new venture, with a blend of Western logical pragmatism and Eastern sensitivity, CCF is enveloped by an enigmatic and mystical aura.

CCF is now prepared to share its findings for the benefit of the society that's given it space to root, grow and establish. Herein, are the philosophy and essence that form the core of all CCF activities:

  • "Truth and Compassion triumph over evil" -KS
  • Life, Energy and movement are essential in dealing with suffering and dying....
  • Contractual giving and help is meaningful and purposeful.
Supportive Cancer Care means
  • Preparing the patient and the family to accept the disease, the treatment and helping them to participate in their cure, healing and dying.
  • Training and Sensitizing the Cancer Care staff, the medical and para-medical teams to human needs.
  • Creating an atmosphere and a field where healing takes place, with understading
CCF has effectively used Transactional Analysis is Supportive cancer care - the patients are taught simple concepts that help them move mout of their passivity and resistance caused by cancer.....

Ms. Lakshmi, a 19 year old survivor of Hodgkin's Lymphoma declared:

"I love Cance -  because it has brought me in touch with so many - otherwise I would not have stepped out of my village"

Pain, suffering, even death are not tragic - what makes them so is the accompanying helplessness and hopelessness - and it is here that CCF makes a difference....

Renewing its commitment, Restructuring its activities ... CCF will proceed ...

We thank you all for having been part of the CCF journey of Supportive Cancer Care.
