Projects, major achievements, struggles are always produced by a human group.

A group that has members with defined roles and where there is usually a leader, sometimes by choice and others by necessity or by circumstances.

In his fight against lymphoma, every patient has the main role.

He leads a group of people who have a common goal: Defeating the disease is in the body of that person and achieve more than ever appears.

This paper aims to discuss and share experiences of life from the point of view of one of the members of that group, which is not the patient.

Family, friends, coworkers, are converted from the day of diagnosis and treatment to follow in the second in command of the battle is unknown.

The role of the squire is not simple and stick more or less it has to do with the affection you profess to the patient, but also with the attitude you have towards life companion.

The patient, to confront disease, account and you can have all or part of his body, his intellect, his spiritualism and will.

Those who accompanied, however, we have only the power of persuasion and emotional support to intervene in the patient's body.

We encourage, we remind and insist with care, we assist with eating, dressing and even in the most intimate areas, try to mentally lift if it drops, but we can not force him to fight him better Lymphoma what he can and will.

We fight from outside, we play away and we can not have that perception lives in the flesh. This means, if we are not careful, we put too optimistic or fall into the most atrocious pessimism ... and that note ...

When the battle is long and complicated, the activity where we excel is in the "logistics" which, I believe, is the easiest although not enough ...

Wear and carry papers queue with employees to discuss social work, and have time to get medicines, clothes, food, are our specialty and we carry out with professionalism and efficiency, while the patient is devoting all its energy on the battlefront .

Both roles and both tasks are important and critical to the team's victory.

Our most complicated activity, however, is the contention.

Massages are serious soul and gives no academy courses and "training seminars".

You can not take a photocopy of a hug, pharmacy sell any words of encouragement for when results are not as expected and more than yell and maldigamos in any office will give us the answer to our sick relative or friend calls, for question is his obsession: "now what will happen to me?"

Squires received our appointment and we started our task, no more.

Theoretical learning - practical is done on the fly and if it comes to learning, we do it fast ...

You speaking, as it is very in today's news, we can make an analogy with Susana Trimarco. That woman had to learn as a child kidnapped by gangsters who traffic women are looking for.

We all learn the hard way as strength and contain help and treat our families with lymphoma, when even a short time ago we did not know that there was someone called lymphoma.

Know some stories of that learning and how they manage some squires ...

But love is stronger ...
