This book contains 17 real stories of cancer patients. by writing these stories it is not my intention to criticise the medical profession. The language of love and compassion is not about who is right or wrong. it is about recognising limitations and exploring opportunities. Therefore, it is my sincere hope that you can benefit from the bitter experiences of those who had travelled this journey before you. When you are told you have cancer, your world turns upside down. you go into a mad rush to get things fixed. Unfortunately, many people die due to their lack of knowledge. many patients said, "I don't know all these." The irony is that some people read what we wrote, agreed with every page that was written but then do not believe! that is your choice. Know that Ignorance kills!
1. Before undergoing any invasive treatment, do you ask if the treatment is going to cure you?
2. What do you want? Cure? Just to prolong life? Prolong life of misery or prolong quality life?
3. At what cost - financially and emotionally?
4. Evaluate the answers given to you critically. Having found your direction, ask if there is any other options to achieve the same goal?
6. If you are asked to undergo treatment immediately, take a pause and ask, why is he/she pushing me without giving me time to reflect and think? Is he/she going after my money or my cancer?
7. You don't get cancer only yesterday. cancer has probably been in you for years already. does a delay of one or two weeks affect the outcome of the treatment?
