Stage-1 and Stage-2 are recoverable, if proper medications and therapies are taken as per the advice of the doctor. But the most important part is how you care to the patient both mentally and physically. Mental boost is more important, as cancer kills someone mentally first. So the family members and relatives of a patient at such a time plays a crucial role in keeping the hope alive.</p>\n<p>Stage-3 is quite difficult. But there are cases in past where a patient has recovered from stage-3 level cancer and that requires great determination and proper timely medication. The immune power of a person also counts a lot at this stage. A mentally strong patient can beat this stage of cancer if all other things are taken care of medically.</p>\n<p>Stage-4 is really tough, there are almost negligible cases of recovery and survival for a patient going through stage-4 level cancer. Therefore the patient should be given support mentally by the near and dear ones and whatever little life the patient has must be given utmost care both medically and mentally, so that the pain could be minimal to some extent. Stage-4 normally survives 6 month to 2 years on an average depending upon the type of cancer and condition of a patient. The home care or attending a patient at hospital and how that is being attended also plays a role to the length of survival of a cancer patient.</p>\n<p><br></p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"fk7neqncw","appParentAuthor":"mokolabadore","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
