Cancer is everywhere

Cancer is like a cold in the modern world. Many people are sick. And probably we don't even know about it. I realized how many people is sick when was in Oncology Center. From January last year in Poland we don't have limits in oncology. So I saw that doctors have e.g. 20 patients  with "numbers" and about 60 more without "numbers". It is really sad, that every single year more people have cancer.

Moment of rest

After few months of chemo it is a time to rest. Peson with cancer has time to feel stronger before radiotherapy will start. It is a time where you can see new hair on sick person head. And you can feel that this person is stronger and how grateful she is. Of course it is not end of treatment, not end of illness, but one part is behind, it is something really big.

Chemo

In this part I will write something about chemotherapy. It is not true that chemo doesn't work if you don't lost your hair. Not every single person is vomiting.  Every single person is different. I can write only what I saw, i was "observer" if I can write something like that. I was with someone in the hospital during chemo, and trust me, it something... I don't even know how to called it.. terrible, sad... I can't even describe it. You are sitting there, with this person, and see how scared is this person. You see that she is crying and she is suffering.....

Treatment

In the modern world we have a lot of kinds of treatment: chemotherapy, radiotherapy, pills. Which is the best? We can't say which one is the best. For one person chemo and pills for other chemo and radio, for another only pills. In my life is a person who after surgery had chemo and radio, I  know person who after surgery needs to take pills for 5 years. What is better? To tell the truth I have no idea. We have lot of "colorous" of chemo. And again, it depends what kind of cancer do you have. When someone hear: "You have cancer" thinks that probably will die. It is not true, not in the modern world. I am not saying, I am sure that people will not die if we talk about cancer, because it depends what kind of cacer it is. But still... we have to believe...

Facebook

I really don't like messages: "Write where you put your bag or what colour of bra you have". Come on people... Do you really think that it will help someone??? I know that it will not help. We can go to the doctor or something else. Our post on facebook will not help us or other people who are sick.
