“You can see a person's whole life in the cancer they get.” ― Haruki Murakami, Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman
Cancer most often is touted as a silent killer. You never know when/how you contract it and you never know how it advances. Scary thought that.
That said, time is of utmost importance, in the curing of cancer, once detected. Once you know your loved one has been diagnosed with cancer, please make sure you DO NOT DELAY in commencing the treatment or in taking second opinions and then commencing treatment once you are comfortable with the sequence suggested by whichever doctor you choose to go ahead with.
Dad was diagnosed with Cancer towards the end of June and he underwent surgery for it in August, a delay of 1 month. In retrospect, we think , what if we had not allowed him to postpone the surgery , for whatever reason? Would that have been a thin line between cancer being at stage 2 and the existent stage 3 when he actually was operated upon.
Ifs and buts , will not help in altering the past, but keeping the DND rule in mind, may help your loved one to survive :). So hurry up!
