Ethics and Self-Care

When cancer entered my family’s life, I witnessed not only the physical toll it took on my loved one but also the profound emotional, psychological, and social challenges that came with it. The fear, the anxiety, the sense of helplessness — these experiences left deep scars on our entire family. It became clear to me that cancer is not just a disease of the body, but also a disease that attacks the mind and spirit. The experience taught me that comprehensive cancer care must include mental health support for patients and their families. That is why I am passionate about advocating for Psycho-Oncology services — an essential bridge between the physical and emotional dimensions of cancer care. We must ensure that every person touched by cancer has access to holistic, compassionate support that empowers them to navigate the emotional challenges of their journey with strength and dignity.
