      I listened to a program today (Cancer Summit Program) that said the best color for cancer patients to have in a room to improve them psychologically is the color mauve. It is more comforting.

      White or blue are what most hospitals use which is really not the best of colors for their cancer patients.

      Just thought someone might be helped from this since they were talking about many cancers not just melanoma.  If a simple color can change how we feel psychologically it might be worth a try.

          And here I've been trying to get rid of mauve countertops for years!  Maybe they were doing me more good than I had imagined.  I'll donate my countertops to any cancer center – maybe they'll appreciate them more than I do!
