‘‘Physicians lose track of the person sometimes. We see just the cancer and not the total patient.”
For those facing the battle against cancer, there’s help available here in Rappahannock County. Lee Nettles, director of the local mental health clinic, has experience in cancer counseling through an innovative pilot program funded by the National Cancer Institute. He stands ready to work with patients and their families. Several of the people interviewed in the Rappahannock News’ recent articles have volunteered, as veterans of the cancer wars, to work with Nettles as informal support personnel, willing to talk with newcomers to the battlefield.
The Rappahannock Unit of the American Cancer Society can also help. The organization has just donated two sets of reference books on cancer, one to the Rappahannock County High School and one to Wakefield Country Day School. “The books are excellent,” reported Juanda Rodgers, adding that she’d been notified by assistant superintendent Rob McDaniels that the elementary and high schools have already incorporated the instructional materials into their curriculum. A copy of the volume aimed at high school aged youngsters has also been placed in the Cancer Society’s reference library. In addition, Mrs. Rodgers noted, she can obtain a wider range of reference materials from the Cancer Society’s state headquarters in Richmond.
