She talks in details about the importance of families and caregivers and about being open and honest about cancer when talking to family. Margaret mentions peer support; support groups and work colleagues and also the quality of medical and psychological care. Margaret worked as a complementary therapist so she, more than anyone else, can vouch for the importance of complementary treatment. She talks about the benefits of complementary approaches such a reiki, and acupuncture and aromatherapy.
