MUSIC FOR DOC SHOCK
Doc Shock of the day
Do you have a spouse or partner with cancer? The US Cancer Institute studied the wellbeing of cancer survivors based on the attitude of the spouse or those around them. They found that cancer patients who were surrounded by a spouses or partner with a healthy attitude was less likely to develop depression.
