There was also a discussion on help available to patients in need. Some help with pain relieving drugs can be arranged when the request comes from the attending Doctor. When needed, dressings are supplied free of charge, also on the request of the Doctor . The special church calendars to mark the opening of campaign month did not arrive. These will be ordered earlier next year. The campaign was very successful and we are very grateful to each person donating. It takes a great deal of money for research. If treated in time cancer can be healed. It is very important to find the real cause, and research brings us closer to this goal. Money donated here helps all patients from here in some small way.
