Cleveland Clinic Palliative Medicine Symposium
Helen
Moss will be attending this conference sponsored by the Cleveland
Clinic on March 23-25 and will have a booth. Also say that Palliative
Medicine program at the Cleveland Clinic is one of the best in
the country and she has the highest regard for Dr. Declan Walsh’s
leadership in this area.
“For
the last 5 ½ years since I learned of my cancer and finished
the mainstream treatments, I have considered myself to be in some
ways, “hospice” in that I have done things to prolong
my life, hoping that I might stay alive as long as possible. I
am a candidate for “palliative” care, but not just yet.
So much has been done in this area that can also be used by people
undergoing chemotherapy and radiation with their aftereffects.
As
we all know, there are side effects to the traditional treatments.
For the third time I have a broken rib because of the brittleness
of my ribs as a result of the radiation. I felt sorry for myself
today, but feel a lot better since I took an Aleve. I avoid medication
as much as possible, but sometimes it is a real welcome. There
is nothing to do about a broken rib, except to reduce the pain
in order to function and wait until it heals. I take lots of hot
baths to alleviate my stress. Well, I am functioning and feeling
a little happier.
I
will write a report on this Conference to share with you.”

"Perhaps
by prolonging life as opposed to just looking for a cure, that
will be the cure"

"A
physician is obligated to consider more than a diseased organ,
more even than the whole man -- he must view the man in his world
[and the woman in her world -- Helen Moss]"
