Coping with Cancer, Part 4 - Cancer and the Family Unit
This is part 4 of a 9 part series dealing with the dreaded cancer diagnosis. We researched the resources at the National Institute of Health to uncover how individuals and families respond to living with the diagnosis, treatment, and the possibility of the ultimate end. They follow each point with their advice - not from the clinical perspective but with practical suggestions. Each person and case are different, so hopefully this lengthy discussion will benefit you and / or your loved ones.
While the subject matter of this series may be viewed as morbid, that is not our intention. Rather, the purpose of all SeniorS-SuperStoreS.com resources is to provide insight into the many issues that our visitors probably will face at some time in their lives. If you can't handle the cancer subject matter, then substitute other serious illnesses that we as humans will likely endure.
Cancer is a blow to every family it touches. How it is handled is determined to a great extent by how the family has functioned as a unit in the past.
