pete, not really so strange. As a cancer resister myself, I have spent a lot of time in infusion rooms, hospitals etc. On the cancer floor of a childrens hospital an 8 year old was talking about the peace and strength she got from "her angel". The mother replied.."you are sooo lucky". The girl replied, "oh, it's not just me, everyone here as an angel". All different cultures, belief cores, races, it didn't matter, everyone had an angel.  Thanks for sharing.
