Tea parties help cancer patients
CLEVELAND -- On each end of the buffet, a circle of pretty china cups and saucers wait. At the center are silver trays of fancy almond bars, fruit tarts studded with blackberries, strawberries and kiwi slices, tiramisu squares, and tiny puff pastries sprinkled with pistachios. Four ladies stand by silver urns of Earl Grey and herbal teas, ready to pour. Choose a cup painted with roses and ribbons. Sit, visit, relax. Every Wednesday afternoon at 2:30, there is a civilized interlude from the treatment of a very uncivilized disease at Cleveland Clinic's Taussig Cancer Institute. For about an hour, patients come and go from the Bistro Cafe on the center's ground floor, indulging in a bit of calm along with a cookie or scone. It's no tea party to be hooked up to an IV for 6½ hours, as Fern Legat has been, hoping that chemo will arrest for a while the non-Hodgkins lymphoma she endures.
