This chapter is a personal account of the author discovering what he calls "a sense of knowing" while walking with the aboriginal Sng'oi people of Malaysia. This "sense of knowing" is described as a deep sense of belonging, life-changing, being a part of this all-ness. The book adds further detail to this "sense of knowing".
Cancer is frequently associated with a host of distressing physical and psychosocial symptoms that can occur throughout the disease trajectory (1). Access to a multidisciplinary supportive care service is imperative for patients with cancer experiencing distressing symptoms, including fatigue, pain, anorexia, nausea, dyspnea, anxiety, depression, and weight loss, to improve the quality of life of patients. Without optimal symptom control, administration of anticancer therapies may be delayed or discontinued (Table 58-1).
