As soon as s a person reaches the
end of his or her life, it is often difficult to know what to anticipate. Death
from cancer generally occurs after a person has gradually become weaker and
more tired over several weeks or months. The person needs a lot of moral
support and encouragement and proper care and attention should be given to the
affected person as according to Elisabeth Kubler Ross:
“People are like stained-glass
windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets
in their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.”
(Elisabeth Kubler-Ross)
The signs and symptoms of the
person reaching the final weeks of life include progressive weakness and
fatigue, weight loss, dryness of the person`s
lips and mouth, loss of interest in all the activities, reduced ability
to talk and focus. These symptoms vary from person to person as the person has different
metabolism level.
Severe
pain often makes it difficult for an affected person to feel comfortable as he
or she dies. When death occurs, the person's muscles will relax, breathing will
stop, the heart will stop beating, and there will be no pulse.
It
is very important to keep in check with all the changes in your body movements.
You should immediately seek a consultant or physician if you observe anything
strange. The time factor plays a very crucial role in cancer. There are maximum
chances of survival for the cancer patients as soon as the disease is detected
and proper medications and treatment should be given at priority.
There
are various types of cancer such as breast cancer, thyroid cancer, blood
cancer, lungs cancer etc. For details about breast cancer-its causes and
