At the end of the 6th session, he suffered. And badly. His hands and feet had turned black, the nurses could not get his veins for the IV line to be started, intense loss of appetite and weakness were some of his problems. He had to be re-admitted to hospital and was nursed back to health in November-2012.
Thereafter he slowly began to revive, and live again. A life free of hospitals and medicines.
Pointers for caregivers/families
1. When your loved one is undergoing treatment for cancer, make sure that the person who is with him/her, is alert at all points in time.
2. Being alert helps to trace out any signs of depression, and even help to ready yourself for any contingency that may arise.
3. Patience is of utmost importance and laughter can be the best medicine truly!
