My dear mother in law just under went surgery for cancer. She will be going thru Chemo in a few weeks, and I will be there to be with her and help her. Thank you for this video. I'm trying to learn as much as I can to help her.

I've seen such attention work with wonderful effectiveness for years as described at web.me.com/touchmaster/nurture This should be standard education for every caregiver and caregiving entity. Everyone wins.
