Communication in Cancer Care: In this chapter the “communication compass” is introduced. It defines the key elements of communication and provides a language with which to communicate about communication in cancer care. The communication compass consists of two axes. One axis defines the associated perspectives of the clinician and the patient, the other axis the content of information and emotional experience. “Two lovers sat on a park bench with their bodies touching each other, holding hands in the moonlight. There was silence between them. So profound was their love for each other, they needed no words to express it.” Sometimes communication just flows. There are these special moments, as fleeting as they are intense. Often communication is stuck. It is as if we speak another language and never manage to understand one another. The lovers on the park bench need no words to express what they feel, neither do they need words to speak about communication. Where communication ...

Cancer Awareness : It has been brought forward by a recently conducted research that drinking coffee may reduce the chances of getting inflicted by Oral cancer. It has been found that drinking about 5 or more cups of coffee per day helps reducing the chances of catching oral caner. This fact was brought forward by a cancer research team who carried on their study with 5,139 people who have had head or neck area cancer during some time in their life against 9,028 people who have remained cancer free for their entire life. The research showed that people who drank more than about 4 cups of coffee per day had lowered their risk of getting mouth cancer by about 39%. The risk was lowered for oral and pharangeal cancers but not for larynx cancer. Although coffee was seen to be useful for people in general, but the cancer risk reducing effects of coffee were not diminished for people who had the habit of alcohol and tobacco. Peolple who had coffee but less than 5 cups per day had low...

Cancer Awareness Jewelry: In the recent years, while more and more people are being diagnosed with the deadly disease of cancer and only a small percentage of them are treated successfully.

A recent addition to this trend is the cancer awareness jewelry. Cancer awareness jewelry is available in form of treasured bracelets, earrings, anklets or rings that allow the friends and families of the cancer survivors and those undergoing treatment – to celebrate the beauty and strength of positive hope. Cancer awareness jewelry is available in different...

Cancer Stages: A cancer can be classified into different Stages based on how abnormal the cells look under the microscope. If the cells look more like normal cells then the cancer is said to be 1st Stages cancer, while the more abnormal the cancerous cells look under the microscope the 2nd Stages is the cancer. Lower Stages cancers progress slowly and tend to end up well at the end. While the 2nd Stages ones progress faster and are life threatning.

Reason Of The Cancer : DR. Warburg thought that the people are looking for the causes of cancer from decades and I will explain the basic or primary cause of cancer so that people will identify and understand the secondary causes of cancer. Lack of oxygen or de-oxygenation is the primary cause of cancer. Some people become cancerous in twenties of cigarette smoking while other smoke for eighties and remain healthy. This is because smoking lower down the oxygen level and body cells try to mutate to live in the abnormal state and as a consequence the cells may die or they adapt to survive. “Most of North Americans and Europeans sustain in this type of abnormal state”. Cells mutate to become cancerous or deadly in the low oxygen environment ”. As a result Cells mutate to become cancerous and of course deadly if these cells reproduce and spread through out the body and the process is called metastasis. Discovery of doctor Warburg was not accepted at once but he has discovered some...

What is Cancer : The body is made up of millions of units. These individual units called cells, have a finite lifetime which are created by cell division in the body. These units or cells grow and divide in a normal fashion. After completing their life-cycle, the cells die. During the childhood years of a persons’s life the cells of the body grow faster and divide faster to create similar cells. As the person grows into adulthood, the process of division slows down and finally gets limited only to replace wear and tear at a later stage in the person’s life. This whole process of cell division is guided by a pattern called DNA. The DNA is like a blueprint that is present in each and every cell of the body. This blueprint decides when the cell has to divide and when it needs to stop functioning. Under normal circumstances, this process goes on very smoothly in an organized manner. But, due to certain conditions, that cause damage to the DNA sequence of a cell, may accelarate the ...
