Have you ever seen a cancer patient? Maybe in your life you have had an experience with a cancer patient. Then you know the pain. You know the sufferings of it. But I'm not talking about the pain or the sufferings of a cancer. All I need to talk about is what can we do for a cancer patient.

As the first thing we have to know is cancer is something that anyone can affect at anytime. But awareness and early detection increase the probability of being cured of the cancer. Cancer is a non-communicable disease, so never be afraid to care for a cancer patient.

The moment someone finds out they have cancer can be the most dangerous moment in that person's life. So in such a situation we have to do what we can to keep the patient's mental level good and positive.

What can we do for a cancer patient during treatments

• Always put the patient's wishes first
• Let them to engage in family activities as possible
• Make their living place a comfortable, clean and a pleasant place

• Get the help of medical and nursing staff to alleviate pain and other physical and mental discomforts.
• Give the medications correctly as prescribed by the doctor.
• A cancer patient always has a risk for developing infections because they are less resistant to disease. Therefore, to protect the patient from infections, the patient and the other people who take care the patient should pay high attention to cleanliness.

We must be sensitive to the socio-economic and psychological problems of the patient

If the cancer patient has kids it become the most worriying part of the patient. In such a case we need to take steps that can be taken for the mental state of the patient as well as the children. Can you imagine about the situation in such a case??

In case of financial problems due to illness, we can help as much as we can and inform the patient about the subsidies provided by the government.
