Arshdeep, a 20-year-old from Amritsar was diagnosed with Cancer. Living with his parents and younger sister, Arshdeep faced immense emotional and physical challenges, unable to work due to his illness. His father, an auto driver, managed the household, but the family’s distress was palpable.
Arshdeep suffered severe pain that left him restless, unable to eat, and sleepless. His condition caused hopelessness for his parents, who feared losing their only son. Psychological distress, broken relationships, and dependency issues further compounded their struggles.
The CanSupport Home Care team intervened by thoroughly reviewing Arshdeep’s medical reports and starting him on supportive medications which brought significant relief allowing him to sleep better. This improvement eased the family’s worries, bringing a sense of hope back into their lives.
Counselling played a crucial role in transforming the family’s outlook. Initially hopeless, Arshdeep’s mother, who often cried during visits, began greeting the team with smiles. One visit revealed a strained relationship between Arshdeep and his father. The CanSupport team facilitated open communication, helping them understand each other’s perspectives. They reconciled, with Arshdeep acknowledging his father’s efforts and expressing love daily, strengthening their bond.
Addressing Arshdeep’s feelings of dependency, the team encouraged him to engage in small tasks at home, which he accepted. He began doing small work to support the family financially and utilized social media to leveraging his existing skills.
Today, the family express gratitude for the care provided by CanSupport. Arshdeep’s pain is managed, and the psychosocial issues that once seemed insurmountable have been resolved. The team’s dedication has not only alleviated physical suffering but also restored harmony and hope within the family.
