Many may have experienced living besides a cancer patient in the family. It is a shocking matter to the patient and to the family. It is a question of huge expenses, deep suffering and finding time to assist. Cancer patient has to undergo physical pain, mental torture and a sense of fear. One may ask then what is the meaning of life. One may remember all the good dees done during the past and interrogate why such a pain has been inflicted. It is not easy not even to an elderly person to think of death. In spite of advanced old age, so much sufferings, I have seen that the persons like to live and survive. This mortal body is beutiful. All the experiences worth living. Man is ready to struggle rather than leave this world.
The treatment against cance is very painful. The radiation treatment leaves many side effects. The person may change mood suddenly, the person may get afraid terribly, the person while looking at others who are moving and enjoying may feel terribly jealous against them. They may get angry soon. The most painful experince is when their head becomes bald, to women it may be a terrible experience. They may be are afraid to look at themselves in the mirror. They need to take drugs against the acute pain.
But what much needed is the company of a beloved person to keep company. The beautiful experience of human life is that by the grace of God she can attune herself to God. She may formulate a motivation. If she rises above the traumatic condition, if she has a goal to fulfil and determines in her life to fulfil it, then she can survive and over come. Many have experienced the miracles in life. Once people had to take trouble to go the holy places to pray and ask for a miracle. But today through internet one can make available so much spiritual assistence. There are so many programs of subliminal pattern, theta and delta level music which truly cause to trigger the body and the body and psche can be stimulated to attune oneself to the divine vibrations. The practice of meditation and listening to the sweat music, one can really feel good.
It is a freat social work or a mission to assist, listen and share the feelings of those who suffer. Often our solidarity itself can heal them and cause them to smile. When a person begins to smile then there will surely be a positive change in than person

My step-father has Stage 4 Bladder Cancer, and I know how tough it can be to handle him. Then again, this is a man who didn't want to listen to his doctors and who didn't want to listen to his family members when it came to getting his bladder removed earlier and when it came to keeping himself healthy.

I have had a couple of friends going through all this, it is a hard thing to watch when there is little you can do to help, all I could do was drive my friends to the hospital and keep them company, I wish they would find a cure for this so many people suffer.

Wow it sounds like you are a wise good hearted person. I never saw anyone with cancer my grandma had it before I was born and survived it thank god. I now work as a cNA in a nursing home and I see elderly people with cancer we have 3 cancer patients a man with stomach cancer- he dose very well has his mind and still gets around very well. An elderly lady who lived in Germany during the holicoust she has lung cancer I fell bad because she makes me very angry sometimes she perpously tries to annoy the staff. The there is a lady with brain cancer she dosnt have her mind she is funny though but it is sad what the cancer has done to her.

Life is sometime taken for granit sometimes. Man is smart, maybe to smart to know that its that very smart that will tear our world apart. Suffering is everywhere, inside and out. Cancer is very bad, and maybe one day the people who are smart will find a cure for it, which will end a world of pain to those with this illness. That is the kind of smart that we need in the world. The smart that will tear our lives down is the smart that creates weapons that distroy. Today we are here, but for tomorrow we may parish. No one knows their end in this place. But we can care for those who are suffering, even though it can cause issues. The heart can not stop and send those to dispare.
