- Abstract
The article discusses the experience of the authors in helping a colleague stricken with cancer. They stress that they feel alive in performing their chosen tasks everytime they are having consultation sessions with the patient. Their task involves supporting their colleague to be honest with their patients and respect her own inclinations. The authors advises the patient to withdraw from being the nurturing therapist and start to take care of herself. They assert that it was a struggle to them to keep their colleague's illness in focus.
