SUPPORTIVE FUNCTION
A young cancer patient is at a very delicate point in his or her personality development, which may be seriously affected by the uncertainty that comes along with the disease. Therefore, it is indispensable to alleviate the feeling of precarity, which may affect the course of the disease.
Nowadays, it is quite possible that a child may win its battle over cancer, but it is undoubtedly a long and difficult process, that involves many different treatments and therapies. It is highly important that doctors, therapists and hospital staff not only try to keep the disease under control, but to give the patient faith and help him become a part of society.
