By Christopher Morris


Nobody wants to contract a dread disease but life nevertheless deals the cards at it sees fit. Being diagnosed with the big, ugly C is probably one of the worst nightmares of anyone. It is true that great advances have been made in treatment methods and medication, but there is certainly no cure yet. Nevertheless, modern medicine can make sure that patients are more comfortable and that they live longer. In their battle against cancer Vancouver CA patients need courage and help.

A positive diagnosis is always a huge shock. There are many stages to go through. First their is denial, then despair, followed by desperation and depression and finally, acceptance. This acceptance of the situation is vital because it is not possible to fight back if one denies the existence of something to fight against. The first line of defence will be to obtain detailed information about the prognosis.

Most patients have to change the way they live immediately. Smokers have to stop smoking and those abusing alcohol and other substances also have to understand that their habits have to change drastically. Most patients have to change their diets and they have to understand that the medication they are given often have complications that can lead to other conditions such as hypertension and a weakened immune system.

The majority of patients put their faith in established treatment methods, They submit to radiology, chemo therapy and medication that may cause them to feel ill, but that may help them get better. This is often a lengthy process and the urge to just give up sometimes arises. In their fight against the disease these patients need to remain determined and motivated, however. Giving up is not an option, really.

A lot of patients, especially those that are already in the late stages of the disease and those that are wealthy, opt for extreme, experimental and foreign treatment. They know that they will not get well with traditional treatment methods and they are therefore willing to take the chance to undergo controversial treatment methods. The will to live is strong, and one could not criticize them.

Many cancer patients become desperate and look at alternative treatment methods and cures. There are many of those, as any basic internet search will reveal. Sadly, there are many fraudsters out there, making impossible promises and conning desperately ill people out of their money. This remains a large industry, nevertheless. So many patients will try anything that may help them to get better and to win the fight.

Some patients believe that their faith will be their saving grace. They think that their prayers, and the prayers of their loved ones will be enough to cure them. Some patients even seek out the prayers of known faith healers and they firmly believe that only God Himself can cure them. However, there are also many patients that go the spiritual route simply because they need to feel reassured.

Cancer is no joke. It is deadly and millions of people die of these dread diseases every year. There is hope, however. Ongoing research will, hopefully, soon result in significant gains against the fight. In the meantime, patients have to be strong.
