Cancer is the condition in which this controlled multiplication of cells becomes uncontrolled and thus causing an array of symptoms. Cancer sometimes begins in one part of the body and spreads to surrounding and distant areas which is termed metastasis. Factors causing cancer are lack of nutritious food intake, lack of exercise, addictions (tobacco, smoking, etc), and pollution.
Changes to your body’s normal process or unusual and unexplained symptoms can be signs of early cancer. Accurately coming to the diagnosis of cancer can take weeks to months of time but wait for a complete appropriate diagnosis for a few weeks will not usually impact the effectiveness of treatment. When the term ‘cancer’ is heard after a diagnosis, the patient and family face a range of overwhelming feelings like shock, panic, denial, numbness, or anger. After the acceptance of this heart-wrenching news comes the next step of making the most inevitable decision for choosing the right treatment center. Many patients feel powerless, scared, and defeated. They face an intimidating medical condition and often don′t know where to turn for accurate help and comfort.
