Through an enquiry
to the NSW Cancer Council I found out about Gerry and Helen-Anne Manion.
Gerry is a Counsellor and Helen-Anne is a Medical Oncologist and for
many years they ran a programme called "Cancer Care Programme".
In Autumn 1995,
my family and I stayed in a little cottage overlooking the beach for
a week and we walked up to the Manion’s house for a morning and
afternoon session each day.
We found this
a tremendous help. The list of books I’ve included in this site
mostly came from a reading list that Gerry gave me. The Manions have
an enormous wealth of wisdom and experience which they generously
shared with us, to our benefit.
Gerry and Helen-Anne
have recently established a new programme which has evolved out of
their previous work. It's called Home Hospice and
assists cancer patients and their families who believe that the right
place for them to be during their final days is at home.
