The Be Kind movement in a midwestern town in picking up steam. As the Omaha, Nebraska, metro area prepares to celebrate Friday, August 24, as Be Kind Day, there are billboards, t-shirts, and bumper stickers across town, in schools, and in churches and businesses as well.
With an underlying motivation to teach students to do more than just avoid being a bully, the Be Kind movement is really a community effort. For this reason, it should come as no surprise that there are planned acts of kindness and cards of well wishes being delivered to are cancer treatment centers and hospitals. Advanced cancer treatment options often involve weeks, if not months, of appointments, but on this particular day area school children are hoping that they can brighten the day of some of these patients.
Treatment for Breast Cancer and Other Common Diagnosis Can Involve Long Months of Appointments
Whether your doctor has recommended proton cancer treatment for breast, prostrate, or head or neck cancer, it is always important to face these appointments with a positive attitude. In fact, proton therapy for prostate cancer and other conditions always works better if a patient is able to find a way to stay positive. Positive attitudes and healthy attitudes and hospital waiting areas full of encouragement can go a long ways toward making sure that any patient is given an opportunity for the best possible outcome.
As doctors, scientists, and researchers continue to work toward the best solutions for patients, in fact, the one thing that patients can always bring to the table is their best self. Finding a way to make sure that your loved one is always as positive as possible can be a little easier if you and your friends and family perform random acts of kindness whenever possible.
One of the most successful approaches that some cancer doctors recommend is proton cancer treatment. Know for its targeted approach, proton therapy studies have shown that prostate cancer patients treated using this method have a significantly reduced risk of impotence. In fact, 94% of men report that they remain sexually active after treatment. This targeted approach is also effective in other kinds of cancer as well. For instance, in breast cancer patients this means on average no radiation to the heart and an average of 50% less radiation to the lung as compared with conventional radiation treatment options.
As doctors work to target the radiation methods that they employ, it should come as no surprise that there are many friends and family members of cancer patients who are also trying to target their Be Kind efforts as well. Proton cancer treatment centers and hospitals as well all benefit from any kind efforts that improve a patient’s attitude and outlook.
