Cancer More Than A disease

in Life & Style, Others on 06/05/18

What is cancer? Cancer is  more than a disease  It’s something that tears you down physically, mentally and socially. The disease brings out  physical changes in you, that might make it difficult for you to recognize yourself in the mirror. Cancer will not only pull you down, but chances are that your family also is affected by the seriousness of the disease.

It is a good idea to get yourself examined and get routine check-ups done.

Cancer More Than A disease

What if  you get diagnosed with cancer

A cancer patient needs more than just  being treated for cancer. The treatment is not only painful but also has a lot of side effects. Chemotherapy is what every cancer patient needs to go through to kill the ‘cancer’

Some common side effects include

  • Hair Loss
  • Loss of appetite
  • Nails chipping off
  • Nausea

The patient will be going through not only a few month of some painful treatment, but as mentioned earlier a lot of physical and mental changes as well.

This makes it all the more important to give all sorts of support to the patient. And, at times the family members too need the support. It’s not just about the patient alone.

Cancer Care From UK Brought To India

In India, the cancer care is good, but is it covering all the points that we discussed? Is your diet being regulated? Are you able to talk about your fears and concerns without being judged?

ICD Health Care  brings to India a care for cancer patients like never before.A kind of care that is not subjected to just radiation or writing a single prescription. Here you will be able to talk not only to your doctor alone, but also interact with survivors of cancer.

    Cancer is indeed a dangerous sounding disease. But its prevention has started on a larger scale now. And every cure adds to positive results.

    Yes, cancer not just need therapy but more than that psychological support. It’s good to know ICD care is not available in India
    It will be a blessing for many patients and they will get timely treatment.

    I agree with Roshan. Recently my aunt was detected with breast cancer and was about to go for the surgery. But another senior doctor said it was only in the earliest stage so can be cured without surgery and chemo. She was in the hospital for some days and got discharged. Now she’s perfectly alright and advised to take pills for her lifetime. We were thankful to God but the trauma and pain faced during that pretests were so heart breaking. Thanks for sharing this informative post. Congrats to ICD.

    Every woman should know the signs of breast cancer to identify it before it takes any deadly shape. Seek breast cancer treatment at the right time. It is recommended to consult a gynecologist for the regular check-up or for any abnormal symptoms found in the breasts. Be safe!
