CANCER, A DIFFICULT BATTLE TO WIN!

Cancer, a disease the makes the patient weak and tired and eventually causing a painful death. The treatment itself is a process extremely agonizing for the patient. Cancer patients fight a battle that usually causes them to lose. In this hour of depression, cancer patients need a lot of support and empathy, along with proper care from the family and friends as according to Elisabeth Kubler Ross:
“People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.” (Elisabeth Kubler-Ross)
There are maximum chances of survival for the cancer patients as soon as the disease is detected and proper medications and treatment should be given at priority. There are various types of cancer such as breast cancer, thyroid cancer, blood cancer, lungs cancer etc. For details about breast cancer-its causes and precautionary measures please visit:
The signs and symptoms of the person reaching the final weeks of life include progressive weakness and fatigue, weight loss, dryness of the person`s lips and mouth, loss of interest in all the activities, reduced ability to talk and focus.

Severe pain often makes it difficult for an affected pserson to feel comfortable as he or she dies. When death occurs, the person's muscles will relax, breathing will stop, the heart will stop beating, and there will be no pulse.

Bentham science has published a number of open access journals online, dedicated to the cause of educating women about this disease.
