So sorry to know about your cousin's condition.

They can try the National Cancel Council (MAKNA)

Hope this helps.

instead of banning from eating why not the whole family change to healthy diet. by doing that they could control her diet and give morale boost to her.
susah senang sama-sama

I've personally know people who went to seek help at this following centre:

Klinik Pakar Psikiatri Ting near IOI Boulevard, Puchong

Shield near Sungai Besi (http://www.sols247.org/shield/)

If money not an issue, go to Ting's but Shield is more affordable.

To be very honest, the approach to mental care here in malaysia still has much to improve. Most people, professionals and general public alike, look at it like a physical sickness which can be cured with pills. Matter of fact its a combination of care & medication, in fact more the former once the initial symptoms have come under control.

I say this because you can get pretty good medication etc from our hospitals, but the care side must come from family. Otherwise its a tough spot, and quickly becomes and endless cycle of episodes.

Somehow I get that impression from my session - the doctor told that I didn't need any medication. It's not that I come there asking for such medication in the first place.

Sigh, usually cancer onset on such an early age isn't caused by environmental or lifestyle choices. It's all in the genes. Changing her diet and forcing her to stay home isn't going to help one bit. Should just let her carry on her life as usual with her friends and schoolmates and follow the oncologist instructions. There's always some auntie or uncle that come and say "this xxx is good, must take a lot" or "must avoid xxxx later cancer come back" or some crap like that.

I strongly believe forcing her to change her lifestyle and forcing her to adapt to "old people sayings" are what drove her towards suicide. My mom was diagnosed with cancer a few months back and I've tried putting myself in her shoes, with all the nonsense and "advice" from the more elderly. If I'm forced to follow their instructions, I would probably do the same as her.

Anyway, I'm not a psychiatrist, that's just what I felt when I read the story. Best is still to bring her to a good psychiatrist and try to understand why she did it. Then please, listen to the professional's advice and don't try to become experts.

Tell me how you can heal mental illness with pills. Anyway. If mental illness is something to do with the physical, why is it that I never see people with head injuries develop mental illness?

Pills can supress bad symptoms (hysteria, hallucinations etc), but in long term counselling & support are the only way to go

You do realize that suppressing makes it worse do You?

Look I'm not arguing that popping pills is the way to go. But i would not discount their aid in treatment. I am no psychiatrist or psychologist, but speaking from personal experience.

If you believe in a no medication philosophy then by all means share your knowledge & information

my 17 year old brother was diagnosed with cancer too, stage 4 testis cancer, he passed out while doing physical activity at PLKN. against all odds he survived, its been almost 4 years. ,continuous emotional support is important, i bought things that he like, comic books etc etc, make him feel normal

cancer stage berapa?
stage 3 kasi makan saja apa die mau
end up mati juga

That the thgs, jus eat anything, any doctor here care to give some advise?

Agree, jus treat her as normal person, let her do what she like. Staying at home make her more depress. Any cancer surviver care to share ur experience?

Agreed on this, mental support is very important.

RIP

stage 4 even got hope to be healed. look lance armstrong

depends on the type of cancer?
dia kena cancer apa?

so TS when you want to intro your cousin to me?
