Cancer is one of the diseases that upset every person who hears about it. What more if a loved one or a friend experiences it? I’m sure it will be very difficult for all of you to cope with it.
Bone cancer is a type of cancer that starts with the bones and radiates or spreads to other parts of the body. Usually it is detected in the very latest stage where the person experiences pain. The same thing happened to my neighbor.
Every day, my neighbor would do gardening around her house. Whenever I see her she would greet me and I would ask her about some of her flowering plants. However a few months ago, she started experiencing pain in her hips. She told me about it and I asked if she fell or bumped into something. She said she doesn’t remember bumping or even falling. She jokes that maybe it’s because she was getting old. The next day it was the same so I told her to consult a doctor. She shrugged it off and said that she will take medications to stop the pain. The pain didn’t stop so she consulted a doctor. After some tests, she told me, she was diagnosed with bone cancer.
After talking to her, I immediately researched online about the disease. Somehow, I became aware of the fact that nobody is safe from cancer. I was devastated to find out that in bone cancer, when a person feels pain in the infected area, no treatment can be done to help or stop the spread.
The disease is continuously spreading, so my neighbor’s family decided that they move to the city so she can be near the hospital. Even though I don’t see her anymore, her experience on the disease has made me aware that life is short and no one is safe from cancer.
