Today, relying on my personal experience of working with cancer patients, it is possible to speak about good and even very good results when the patient gets psychological support at all stages of treatment, from the moment of diagnosis. The support includes working through the general attitude towards recovery, working through fears, negative thoughts, emotions, knowledge that the patient has received from other people, the Internet, doctors’ careless words about chances for recovery, etc. In other words, some information can initially prevent a person from adjusting for recovery. The result of treatment depends a lot on the person’s intention to recover.
It is also important to work with the doctor’s fears, which can be connected to the previous experience. If a doctor has already faced a lot of deaths from this kind of cancer disease, this will automatically be transmitted to the patient. And at the moment of diagnosis, it is very important to remove the doctor's underlying belief that the patient is likely to die anyway.
It is very effective to work through the expectations of chemotherapy: how severe it will be, what negative consequences it will have, how it will affect the whole body, about nausea, vomiting, mood changes, loss of appetite, and so on.
Among my patients, those who received the first course of chemotherapy without knowing me and those who received the second course but interacted with me had significantly fewer side effects. No more than 10% of patients experienced nausea. No other side effects, except a single temperature rise, were observed. My patients were very surprised to know that chemotherapy can be almost painless.
The oncologist comments on the blood test, saying what is wrong. My patient and I specifically work out the levels of white blood cells, lymphocytes, hemoglobin, etc. The effect of recovery to the necessary level without any additional medications appears almost immediately.
Here is the most striking case. My patient with blood cancer had a very low level of lymphocytes after the second course of chemotherapy. The doctors were very worried. After two days of our work, the value of lymphocytes significantly increased and did not fall any more. The doctors did not know what to say. Later, we tried to increase white blood cells. After chemotherapy, their level also decreased, but our work helped raise it to a very good level.
Together with it, we also work with the whole immune system. We try to keep it in a state of mobilization when it is ready to respond to any intervention and recover in time. Moreover, we remove negative programmes, that are attached to the immune system in order not to fight for life. Unfortunately, a large number of people receive them in childhood. And at an adult age, when they come across cancer, they realize their essence. We remove them, and after this, the picture of the disease drastically changes.
Tumour reduction during psychotherapy, in conjunction with therapy or monitoring prior to treatment at the oncologist's, can be successful if we begin our work on time and find the underlying cause. In this case, by the beginning of chemotherapy or surgery, the tumour formation becomes smaller and less medical manipulation is needed for the person to recover.
It is also important to support the person after he or she has gone into remission, because just a few days later, the fear that everything could come back, as well as the awareness of the path that they have gone through, returns. At this moment, relationships with relatives, spouses, and colleagues play a crucial role. Psychological work at this stage gives excellent results. The patient recovers quickly and returns to his or her usual life with the intention of living.
Working with relatives plays an important role, as not everybody is ready to face the diagnosis of a close person and behave properly. Most of them get scared, face their fears and worries, and try to help the sick person in a way that makes things worse. In fact, they demonstrate their own fears all the time, and the patient starts feeling guilty, thinking that he or she betrays somebody, or having other inner conflicts.
If we work with the relatives, who feel that they can cope with their own fears, first of all fears of death and loss, they begin to treat the sick person adequately and support him or her in a necessary way. It can have a positive impact on treatment because they stop driving each other to guilt. Immunity is not reduced in this case.
All these results are possible thanks to the method of emotional imaginative therapy developed by Nikolay Dmitrievich Linde. No other psychotherapy can give such colossal results.
