Voice for Vesna

The experiences of her struggle that she so generously shared with other patients were so vivid and encouraging. She did not leave the listener with a feeling of sorrow, dread, or embarrassment in the face of such grave disease as cancer and the certainty of death. One would feel like being comforted by a wise and trusted friend, guided over obstacles to a safe rest. Her story-telling power was the reason why I asked her to write for us. I knew her stories will find a way both to the patients and health care professionals.
