Terminal Cancer

There is something that is very certain in this world. Each and every one of us will have to die someday. It may be of natural death or by accident, nobody knows. But what if you found out you only have a month to live? That would be a different story. Some diseases in the world today could shorten the lifespan of a person, sometimes it could even give a specific time period in which you will live.

Terminal cancer is when a person who is diagnosed with cancer in a later stage wherein the malignant cells have already spread out to other organs of the body. Various types will give out different terminal cancer time frames. Some will give out a stage four type of cancer wherein the person will only be given 8 months to a year’s time to live. Sometimes it will only be three months depending on the growth of the tumors in your body. Operation or removal of a body part can be a solution in the early stages of cancer, but when the diagnosis is terminal cancer, the sad part is there is nothing we could do but pray that we may have an extension.

Having terminal cancer can be overwhelming for the person and his love ones. Not only do they have to face the fact that the person will die but they have an idea when it’s going to happen. The family members shouldn’t be sorry for the person with the terminal cancer, but rather support him or her with his current situation.
