We were introduced to Coremine Vitae by acquaintances after our son was diagnosed with incurable cancer. From our first contact, we found the team to be serious and professional. We were well looked after, and it was important to be able to discuss our thoughts and questions with someone outside the public system who had the necessary expertise.  

In our situation, it was important to be up to date with the latest research and know that nothing should be left untested. As the public sector is bound by a strict framework in terms of what is an established treatment and it takes a long time from the testing of new drugs until they become available in the clinic, Coremine Vitae was essential for us.  

We needed someone who could help us check all the available information and sort the material so that what was passed on to us was evidence-based and quality-assured knowledge. This gave us confidence and hope. The team was also easily accessible to us by phone and if we wanted a meeting, this was quickly scheduled and carried out. It was good to have the opportunity for regular updates on the latest knowledge/research and to know that someone was working for us in parallel. The meetings were also an important arena for communicating knowledge in an understandable way for those of us without a medical background. The complexity of the field makes it challenging to understand limitations and connections, and it was nice to have an arena where there is time and space to ask about "everything".

Hope is essential when you are in such a situation to be able to endure all the uncertainty about the future. The team was professional in communicating the balance between hope and realism. This contributed to a better quality of life for both our son and us as relatives. We experienced the conversations as supportive and caring, which gave us peace of mind in a difficult life situation.

Coremine Vitae provided a better basis for making decisions about further treatment choices, and this knowledge is important for achieving the most personalized and targeted treatment possible. We would like hospitals and therapists to have access to this expertise and knowledge in order to complement the decision-making basis for treatment.  

We are very grateful for all the help and support we have received from the team during this time.
