>>> A UNIVERSITY RESEARCH OF THE UNITED STATES

The group therapy live longer help women with breast cancer

Followed ill for 11 years. There were fewer deaths among those participating.

The opinion of Dr. Silvia Garsd

"Of the group get their gladiator layer"

"The person diagnosed with cancer when he comes for the first time the group, dragging the box comes with the shroud on. After three hours of being in the group,
leaves a person with a layer of gladiator, with hope and ready to fight.
Our philosophy is' Where there's life there is struggle for life ", describes Dr. Silvia Garsd, psycho-oncology unit, Gambling Foundation president to life.

It is precisely a psychotherapeutic group for people with cancer, which since 1993 works in the Ramos Mejía Hospital and other locations (see www.apostaralavida.org.ar, phone 4863-6785). Besides psychologists are also involved two patients coordinators, assistants who have made in psycho-oncology training course. "They act as mirrors of life: I look in the other, and if the other might, I can also" explains Garsd.

"The patient has already had a poor quality of life, under pressure, stress, frustration, bitterness, resentment, postponing things with negative situations that make a human being can not develop their full potential for resource-described Garsd. The cancer topic starts to have a role 'secondary' because they begin to emerge all risk factors.

"Patients stop crying, to victimize, and become actors. They begin to realize that health also depends on the mental health
"continued the psycho-oncology unit. When emotional balance is achieved, can understand that the altered state of mind alters the immune system. The body is the last to be sick and the first thing to try, but at the same time to
modifying behaviors, negative habits of life. "

From his experience in group therapy with cancer patients, Garsd is convinced that "better quality of life is more quantity of life. Best live according to what I can, live longer. I'm way ahead of science ten steps, and the
science as I can with a new discovery. But it goes only person who is confident and, above all, certainty and security for how they want to live. "
