Is it worth breaking the bank to treat an elderly person with cancer?

I think this situation is going to go bankrupt, ** this old man, should be analyzed according to the specific situation, if the value of cancer is not advanced cancer, then of course we should strive for **, and there is to ask the old man himself, which is also very important: whether it is worth going to ** an old man with cancer, the most important thing is three factors;

The first is the condition of cancer: what pathological type of cancer is obtained, what is the stage, whether there are effective means, what is the curative effect, whether it is possible, and whether it can survive for a long time. If you can ** in the early stage, of course you have to treat it.

If the survival time is very short, it depends on the situation, whether it is worth it first depends on the disease itself, you can't just because the patient is an old man so you don't want to be treated, this is naked discrimination against the elderly, you will be old in the future, is it old, even if you are sick, don't go to treatment. Some people will say that it is because cancer cannot be cured. It's not that you have to look at the situation, if it is not cured and the survival time is very short, you can consider it, if it is early, you will not be treated?

The second is economic factors: for those who have money, it is worth spending money to live for a few more months and a year, and for those who have no money, it may not be worth living for two or three years longer. For cancer**, economic factors are indeed an important consideration, especially for families in general.

The third is the patient's physical condition, if the body is too weak to tolerate **, such as surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, etc., of course, don't go** (refers to anti-tumor**, and palliative symptomatic and painful** is still needed, such as pain relief, you can't watch the patient's pain and ignore it, of course it's not okay). But in fact, this is not a question of whether to **, but it is impossible to **, and it can't be cured if you want to.

For patients with end-stage cancer, the course of the disease is basically irreversible, and the actual help of cancer patients is not much if they continue to be rescued and rescued. So, sometimes cancer isn't always the best! However, it is important to note that the wording of this sentence is that sometimes, not all cancer patients are not**.

For some advanced cancer patients who are older, have poor physical fitness, and have a variety of underlying diseases, it is not recommended to eliminate cancer cells as the first purpose, but to palliate and improve the quality of life, and reluctant to only aggravate the pain of cancer patients.

In addition, the type of cancer and the prognosis often determine whether it is needed in the advanced stage, such as breast cancer, lung cancer, malignant lymphoma, etc., even if these cancers are at an advanced stage, through standardized diagnosis and treatment, they can still effectively prolong the life of cancer patients and improve the quality of life; However, if it is pancreatic cancer, liver cancer and other cancers, when it develops to an advanced stage, the first effect is not so ideal.

The family financial ability of patients with advanced cancer is one of the main reference bases for deciding whether to decide whether to do it or not.

Most cancer patients belong to ordinary families, and have spent a lot of savings in order to save a lot of money, and if there is no appreciable effect at this time, the doctor will recommend taking appeasement, so that the patient can complete the last journey with dignity, rather than smashing the pot and selling iron to save an irreparable life. At this time, it may not be the best.

In the face of terminally ill patients, should you go bankrupt for treatment?

Whether or not to try our best to save terminally ill patients needs to be comprehensively considered from various issues, and these two issues need to be considered emphatically.

1. Will cancer be bankrupt?

The cost of cancer patients mainly includes diagnosis, surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, traditional Chinese medicine, others, hospitalization and nursing, etc., in addition to the cost, there are some living expenses related to daily diet, transportation, accommodation, etc., in different regions, different lifestyles, there are also great individual differences.

All of the above-mentioned items would cost approximately $8.3 million at the lowest cost. Not all patients need these programs, and some patients may be less expensive. In addition, some people with medical insurance can be reimbursed to a certain extent in the ** project, which will greatly reduce the financial burden of patients, and may not necessarily be bankrupt.

2. How likely is it to be clinical?

Most early-stage cancers can be clinically achieved through surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and the earlier the cancer is detected, the greater the likelihood. Even if it develops to an advanced stage, it is possible to achieve long-term survival with tumors through comprehensive **, and some patients with advanced cancer can survive for 7 to 8 years or even longer after **.

Not all terminal illnesses will lead to bankruptcy, and not all terminal cancer patients will die.

This kind of question is so heart-wrenching, and it does happen scene by scene in real life, so that we can see the ending of bankruptcy, people and money. It gives people a deep soul-to-soul thinking, is it worth going bankrupt to ** an old man with cancer who has no hope of results?

China is a nation that traditionally takes filial piety as the greatest, and it cannot be measured by money and material things in the face of family affection. It is a dilemma whether the elderly with cancer should be treated. No, they will be despised by the eyes of the world, and their souls will be tortured, attracting gossip and spit.

The old man has no quality of life, and life is better than death. The family members were exhausted and exhausted. The end is that both people and money are empty.

Euthanasia has not yet become a popular acceptance, under the permission of the law. The elderly are sick and give as much as they can**, even if they know the outcome, they are duty-bound, and they have no choice but to choose**.

An individual is not a person without conscience, nor is he a person with no bottom line morality. With rational thinking, all people are born, old, sick and die, and death is also the best destination. Personally, I feel that giving up ** is a relief for the elderly and their families.

**The elderly with cancer have no quality of life, physical and mental pain. The family is exhausted, sad, heartbroken, bankrupt, and the outcome has not changed, so why can't they accept the reality rationally? It's just that I'm afraid of what others say, I care about other people's eyes, and the pressure of the world.

Is it worth it to spend all your money on the elderly who have cancer? I don't think there is a question of whether it is worth it or not, for some advanced cancer patients who are older, have poor physical fitness, and have a variety of underlying diseases, it is not recommended to eliminate cancer cells as the purpose, but to palliate and improve the quality of life, and reluctantly will only aggravate the pain of cancer patients.

Most cancer patients belong to ordinary families, and have spent a lot of savings in order to save a lot of money, and if there is no appreciable effect at this time, the doctor will recommend taking appeasement, so that the patient can complete the last journey with dignity, rather than smashing the pot and selling iron to save an irreparable life. At this time, it may not be the best.

However, one point that we must make clear here is that "no" does not mean that we should ignore cancer, but rather take a gentle approach to help patients improve their quality of life.

When the cancer reaches the terminal stage, the family should accompany the patient as much as possible, do not leave the patient alone, and if the conditions are possible, you can do some things he likes with the patient, such as listening, playing chess, and taking a walk. When the patient is uncomfortable, you can gently touch the patient's hands and face, or pat the shoulder to show your concern.

To the extent permitted by law, to meet the patient's unfulfilled wishes as much as possible, this is also a kind of farewell to the patient's life.

It's not worth it. We're talking about cancer, the elderly.

Because most people will be idle all their lives, their financial ability is limited, and in the face of the sky-high price of cancer medical treatment, they will not be able to recover from the bankruptcy of a single family.

will return to poverty due to illness, and the delay will drag down the whole family.

For society as a whole, individuals and families are insignificant. A family can only live each day with heart and balance the overall situation of the whole family.

In addition, the problem of sky-high medical prices needs to be solved by all parties.

Of course, it is necessary to treat.

Knowing that it can't be saved, but in order not to leave regrets, most people will still choose to go bankrupt for treatment.

1. Parents are the relatives of their children for life, and the parents have given birth to children, and the children have the obligation of filial piety and support to their parents, if one of the parents is suffering from terminal cancer, they know that there is no hope, but they still believe in miracles in their hearts, and they will still not give up on treating him.

When parents give birth to their children, they pull their children to the ground with hard work, give their children the best love and the best education, and when they are in trouble, as children, they will naturally not let go, and naturally do their best to save their parents, so that their lives can be delayed for an extra year, a month, a minute, or even a second.

It is far more painful to see the person you love the most leave you than to go bankrupt, the money is gone, you can make it again, but the relatives are gone, so what about the ** to look for?

Second, in addition to bankruptcy, you can choose social forces to help, in the past, people would choose to sell houses, cars, land, etc., but now in addition to selling houses, cars, and sales, you can also choose charities, and you can also choose online charity fundraising to survive the crisis.

Tell the society about your real situation and real needsThe public will not be indifferent, and will choose to do their part to help through the sadness.

It is difficult to carry many problems by yourself, and when you need help, you should ask for help with gratitude, and you should also have a grateful heart to help others when you can do it.

Finally: Children don't want to let go, parents don't want to let their children go bankrupt because of themselves, life is in trouble, which is full of children's love for their parents, parents' love for their children.

In the book "The Best Farewell", it is proposed how people die in old age, whether to treat everything when the disease comes, or to face the last time calmly and embrace death？This is a worthy question, as a child in a certain situation should also respect the opinions of parents, should not be stubborn.

Parents are sick, it is a matter of course to treat their parents, and it is also the responsibility that every child should fulfill, and it is everyone's responsibility and obligation to do their best to save their parents' lives.

There is no need, be conservative, alleviate the pain, accompany them through the last road, even if you go bankrupt, it will only make them suffer a few more knives, a few more days of pain, it is better to reduce the pain, be happy for a few days, let them enjoy a few days, people have to die, filial piety is to make parents happy, not pain, our children should care more about their parents, don't stand up for minor illnesses, and let go of major illnesses. Because there is no hope, I can only accept it, such a thing, the hospital ICU is staged every day.

There is no need. Because it can't be saved. It is better to travel with your parents and let your parents appreciate the great rivers and mountains of the motherland.

It depends on what is more important in your heart, if your parents are more important, then it is natural to go bankrupt, but if it is an ordinary family, there is no need to pay such a big price.

Over the years, our living standards have risen, medical technology has improved, and the number of visits to the hospital has increased. Although the current medical level has overcome many diseases, but there are some terminal diseases we are helpless now, is it necessary to go bankrupt to save patients with terminal cancer? Do you think you should be saved?

If this patient is our dearest relative, then I will definitely do my best to treat him, in my heart, the life of a loved one is priceless, although it may be because of the treatment of him, our life will be very poor in the future, but as long as the person is still there, there will be hope for everything. Even if it really doesn't come back in the end, I won't regret it, at least in the days to come, with a clear conscience, of course, this is just my personal opinion.

There is also a situation that the condition is really not necessary, in the advanced stage of some cancers, even the doctor will persuade the patient and his family to go home, no longer **, terminally ill, there is no medicine to treat. All of these situations do exist in real life, and life sometimes likes to joke with us.

Life is precious, nothing can be exchanged for a person's life, only alive can have the opportunity to create infinite possibilities, if someone is sick, hope can be restored to health, pray that the future of medical treatment is more and more developed, everyone can easily get the best treatment. Here, I would also like to tell you to pay more attention to your lifestyle habits on weekdays, take care of your body, and try not to get sick as much as possible.
