- W2894464079 abstract "Background: Cancer, which accounts for 7% of deaths per year in Kenya, is the third highest cause of death after infectious and cardiovascular diseases. Awareness campaigns have tended to focus on leading cancers including breast and cervical for women as well as prostate and esophageal for men. Consequently, less common cancers such as acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are rarely properly understood by the general population and a section of the medical fraternity. Diagnoses of AML results in shock, denial and confusion to the diagnosed, family and friends as they receive contradicting information about the condition from diverse sources. The situation is handled differently by different people with many resorting to prayer. This paper, written from the lens of a caregiver, is based on data collected from a case of AML in a 32-year-old male Kenyan who lost his life within 6 weeks of diagnosis. Aim: The aim of the paper is to share experiences on the advantages and disadvantages of prayer as support to cancer patients, their family and friends. Methods: A purposively selected sample of 16 people (5 male and 11 female) of Christian Protestant orientation who participated in prayers was used. Data were collected by the researcher through participant of observation and interviews. Results: Findings discuss how prayers were conducted individually and in groups both physically and through social media platforms. Prayer items that included healing, peace and strength to the diagnosed and family, financial breakthrough and doctors' work are discussed. The immense benefits of prayer and its disadvantages to the diagnosed, his family and friends are discussed. Conclusion: The paper concludes that prayer goes a long way in cancer support." @default.
