Cancer is a frightening diagnosis and one that most people are afraid of with good reason. Even after decades of cancer research there is little hope for survival once you receive this type of bad news. Of course, cancer doesn't have to be a death sentence but unfortunately these days in many cases it is.
When an individual is first diagnosed with cancer they will probably have to follow up with several doctor's appointments in order to make sure what type of cancer it is as well as how far it has traveled throughout the body. Of course, receiving a diagnosis usually comes with a prognosis and suggested treatment plan that will be laid out by your doctor. This can be quite a process of being poked and prodded and in many cases a biopsy may be needed in order to realize exactly what is happening within the body.
The important thing to realize is that any plan suggested by your medical doctor will have to then go through your health insurance and in some cases your medical insurance may not allow you to follow through with your doctor's recommendations or will suggest that you have to pay out of pocket for any of the recommended treatments. When it comes to treatment options it is always best if your doctor and health insurance company agree.
Once you start undergoing a course of treatment you are going to very likely receive a set amount of treatments and they'll be followed up with a re-evaluation. At re-evaluation time your doctor will most likely have to rerun some of the primary tests in order to make sure that the treatments are working and progressing otherwise you may perhaps need to have your course of treatment overhauled or stopped if things are not going well or if the cancer is advancing.
If you have a form of cancer which is not curable or inoperable then it is likely that you'll in the end be left with only one of two options, to undergo hospitalization until death or have hospice care administered at home. Those with young children typically opt to have care given in a hospital setting to help the children not be traumatized while individuals who have a strong family base tend to want to die at home and hospice care generally allows them to die with dignity in a comfortable setting.
