Lines of Advice to ROJoson Cancer Crusaders

UPDATE: December 2, 2020

As of December 2, 2020,

12 Cancer Crusaders have submitted Lines of Advice to ROJoson Cancer Crusaders (11 from cancer patients / survivors and 1 from a caregiver).

The entry from the caregiver is an automatic winner as there is only one entry and lines of advices are sensible and practical in what a caregiver should do to a cancer patient who is a loved one or significant other).

See the entry of the caregiver below.

For the entries from the cancer patients / survivors, I have to select 3 best for the Awards which by the way will be a voucher for a free medical consultation with ROJoson.

From the 11 entries, I decided to initially trim down for further evaluation purposes to 5 entries.

I have decided to consult the registered Cancer Crusaders to help me decide. I will get inputs up to December 5, 2020 12 noon and then make a decision on the winners.

The 5 semifinalists are:

WINNNERS

Today, November 21, 2020, I launched a new project in line with my psychosocial therapy and support for my cancer patients.

The name of the project is "Lines of Advice to ROJoson Cancer Crusaders."

The project will form part of the activities / program of the 33rd Cancer Crusaders Club Annual Christmas Get-Together on December 6, 2020. I foresee it is a worthwhile project in line with the goals of the ROJoson Cancer Crusaders Club. I plan to make it a regular activity after December 6, 2020.

Aside from the Cancer Journey Sharing by Cancer Crusaders, complementing this will be the "Lines of Advice to Cancer Crusaders" by cancer patients and caregivers of cancer patients.

Remember the Cancer Crusaders Get-together is a day of sharing of cancer journey and a day of helping each other in the fight against Cancer - cancer patients helping other cancer patients and caregivers of cancer patients helping cancer patients.

I will be asking ROJoson Cancer Crusaders (cancer patients of ROJoson and caregivers of cancer patients of ROJoson) to give at least one (1) to at most five (5) lines of advice (each line consists of a short statement - one liner).

The formats will be like these:
