World Cancer Day 2015Quality of Life - It’s not beyond us

A truly global event taking placeevery year on 4 February, World Cancer Day

unites the world’s population

in the fight against cancer


3/42

Why World Cancer Day is important

•

Global cancer epidemic is huge and set to rise - 8.2 million people diefrom cancer world wide annually.

• WCD helps us to spread the word and raise the profile of cancer


4/42

Taking place under the tagline

‘Not beyond us’, World Cancer Day focusses on taking a positive andproactive approach to the fight against cancer, highlighting that solutions do

exist regarding cancer care and early detection and that they are within

reach.


5/42

Cancer is not beyond us in terms of cancer

control and reducing the impact of the disease.

Understanding and responding to the full

impact of cancer on emotional, mental and

physical wellbeing - will maximise the quality oflife for patients, their families and caregivers


6/42

Our

CANSA Care Centres

country-wide offer

comprehensive

care and support

programmes for all

those affected bycancer to find the

best care solution

and advise on

managing side

effects of treatment,be it physical,

emotional and/or

spiritual.


7/42

For each person diagnosed, cancer is a unique

experience. No two people will travel the same

journey during and after cancer treatment.

How people cope when diagnosed, during

or after treatment (or even when in remission),

is different for each individual.

One common thread in all people with cancer is

the need for a good support system


8/42

Support Groups

•

Our active support groups connectpatients, long-term survivors and

their loved ones with others who

have 'been there' for insight, moral

support and understanding, hope

and inspiration, and bereavement

support when needed


9/42

Support Groups

Our support groups include:• ‘Hoping is Coping’

• ‘Sharing and Caring’ groups

• Cancer specific groups (such as

prostate cancer support group)

• Weekly visits to oncology centres

• Tough Living with Cancer (TLC)

groups (support to children, teens andfamilies affected by cancer)


10/42

For many people facing a cancer

diagnosis, it’s the toughest fight

of their lives. Maintaining social

support networks and talkingabout cancer is important for

both the person living with

cancer and their caregiver.

Whether you are a newly diagnosed person with cancer, a person who

has had cancer before, or the

caregiver or loved one of someone

with cancer, you might experience

some form of emotional stress as part of the natural human response.


11/42

Individual Counselling

Individual counselling is a very effectiveway to unload some of that stress in a

safe and supportive environment.

Our experienced counsellors can help

you enormously in dealing with your

feelings, aspirations and fears.Counselling is available for those with

cancer, as well as their loved ones

Your donation of

R50 could pay for one

individual counselling

session

• Care Homes rent out medicalequipment to cancer patients, such
