Radiating Pessimism-The Adversities Of Cancer Treatment

Numerous doctor's appointments, pain, and the mental stress of knowing death could be around the corner. Cancer is infamous for being the most dangerous disease in the world, taking millions of lives yearly. As soon as you encounter the "C" word from your doctor, you can't help but count down the clock, and as our author, Perry Muse, would say, "Try not to let cancer kill me."

But how much do you give away in the pursuit of saving oneself? 

Let's discuss the adversities of cancer treatment.

The treatment

Unfortunately, various types of cancers exist, with doctors prescribing different medicines for each one. All of which have other side effects. 

But to understand the treatment, first, we need to know how the disease operates. 

Cancer is caused by mutated cells that erode your immune system. These cells grow over time and spread very quickly through "metastasizing." Once they latch onto your body's organs, getting rid of them isn't very easy. Mainly because your immune system can't detect or fight against it alone. 

As you can see, cancer is relatively rigid. Hence, it calls for some hardcore medicine.

Here are some common side effects of cancer treatment:

Hairloss: One of the most common side effects of chemotherapy is hair loss. Although the hair grows back in a couple of months, it still profoundly affects the patient's mental health. 

Nausea: Most cancer treatments can trigger symptoms of nausea. So much so that patients feel sick even thinking of cancer treatment. 

Pain: Another noticeable side effect of cancer treatment is pain. This makes painkillers an integral part of your cancer treatment. 

Perry Muse had his fair share of side effects suffering from prostate cancer. Perry had to receive medicine to fight the tumor that lowered his testosterone. This lead to drastic side effects such as sexual dysfunction, muscle atrophy, and morbid thoughts. 

But more than the physical struggles of cancer treatment, the mental toll is far greater. 

Break free from morbidity

When receiving cancer treatment, you are left in a state of paradox. It is challenging to remain positive when you're fighting the idea of death, especially when the treatment feels worse than death itself. This leaves you swimming in a pool of negative emotions and urges you to give up. It can make you question whether it is all worth it. 

Memoir, Morbid Thoughts, and the Domino Effect shine a light on the feelings of despair and triumph through the wise words of Perry Muse. After undergoing 18 surgeries and grueling medical procedures, Perry's resilience remains a testimony to the world. One that he is proud to share with you today. 

He talks about how you break free from these feelings of dread. Stop the domino effect of adverse events in your life and truly fight the good fight for your friends, family, and, most importantly, yourself.
