Abstract

Xu Chen

A support system is a very important factor for a cancer patient. It is an even more important aspect among Asian women cancer patients than other ethnicities. China is the only country that women suicide rate is higher than that of men. The reason for that is domestic violence. This paper is about how a woman cancer patient can build her own support system. When they experience domestic violence, Who they should turn to, whether and how to work to make her job a wellness program. Also, where she should choose to live. Cancer treatment is more than chemo and radiation. It is about an all-around program to make the patient feel overall good.
