Education and Support in the Process of Oncological Treatment – Knowledge, Understanding, and Guidance in Challenging Times

Facing an oncological diagnosis is one of the most challenging periods in life, both for the individual receiving the diagnosis and for their family. Alongside medical examinations and treatments, numerous questions, uncertainty, and emotional burdens arise, which are often difficult to manage without additional support. Information can sometimes feel overwhelming or unclear, and feelings of fear and insecurity may further complicate the treatment process.

For this reason, at Marvie Hotel & Health, in collaboration with Dr. Ante Strikić, MD, PhD, a specialist in radiation therapy and oncology with extensive clinical experience, we offer educational programs and individual support in oncological topics. This professionally designed program serves as a complement to medical care, with an emphasis on a holistic approach to the individual – addressing physical, emotional, and psychological health.

Education as the foundation of understanding and security

An oncological diagnosis often brings a large amount of information that can be difficult to fully understand without professional guidance. The education provided by Dr. Ante Strikić, MD, PhD is based on clear, verified, and medically grounded knowledge, tailored to the individual needs of each patient. Clear explanations of the course of the disease, treatment options, possible side effects, as well as guidance related to nutrition, physical activity, and mental balance help create a greater sense of security and control over the situation.

Support for patients and their families

Oncological disease affects not only the patient, but also family members and loved ones. Support programs are designed to create a safe space for conversation, asking questions, and expressing emotions without pressure or judgment.

Through an individual counseling approach, this type of support helps patients cope emotionally with the diagnosis and the changes it brings, reduces stress, anxiety, and feelings of isolation, strengthens psychological resilience, and facilitates adaptation to everyday life during and after therapy. Such a professionally guided process can have a significant positive impact on the quality of life of patients and their families.

An integrated approach to health at Marvie

At Marvie, education and support in oncological topics are part of a broader, integrated approach to health that connects different aspects of personal care into a cohesive whole. Programs can, according to individual needs, be complemented by other health and wellness services offered by the hotel, such as nutritional counseling, physiotherapy, mental health support programs, and selected wellness services.

The goal of this approach is to ensure a sense of continuity, wholeness, and structured care in an environment that fosters calmness and trust.

Support as a process, not a one-time encounter

Education and support in oncological topics are not a one-time intervention, but rather a process that adapts to the individual’s needs throughout different stages of coping with the illness. An individualized approach allows the content and intensity of support to be adjusted to personal circumstances, pace, and emotional state.

The first step – information and conversation

The first step toward a greater sense of security is often a conversation with a specialist who understands both the medical and the human aspects of oncological disease. Through educational programs and consultations with Dr. Ante Strikić, MD, PhD, patients and their families can gain knowledge, understanding, and guidance that help them navigate the challenging period of treatment with greater confidence.
