In India, 80% of all patients with cancer are first seen in the terminal phase of their illness. At that point, their terrible suffering and pain forces them to go their doctor for some relief. There is then no hope of cure, but with effective palliative care measures, there is hope of relief of symptoms and some restoration of quality of life. Gilly Burn, an English cancer nurse, started an independent voluntary organization in March 1990 called Cancer Relief India (CRI). During her third visit to India, where she has travelled extensively and lectured to health professionals and others, Gilly had a dream on a train. She awoke with the idea of founding a charity to provide better cancer and palliative care in a land with relatively few resources, in need of cancer expertise.
