Cancer
Cancer is a disease that is typically caused by the
growth and spread of abnormal cells. If cancer can't be contained by
treatment, it can cause death. The causes of cancer can vary and are usually
categorized into two categories:
1.External Factors - tobacco, chemicals, radiation and infection
2.Internal Factors - hereditary mutations, hormones, immune conditions and
metabolic mutations
Most cancer is treatable and managed through surgery, radiation,
chemotherapy, hormones and immunotherapy. However, some cancers are terminal
and cause death. Below are listed the various types of cancer and mortality
rates:*
- Brain cancer - 13,100 deaths
- Breast cancer - 40,000 deaths
- Colon & rectum cancer - 56,600 deaths
- Leukemia - 21,700 deaths

According to the National Cancer Society: "This year about
555,500 Americans are expected to die of cancer, more than 1,500 people a
day. Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the US, exceeded only by
heart disease. In the US, 1 of every 4 deaths is from cancer."*
End-of-life care for cancer patients involves seeing a barrage of doctors,
nurses and therapists. Patients can be treated in their homes or in the care
of a hospital. During this time of need, the last thing that you or your
loved ones should be worrying about is money. Unfortunately health care
costs for cancer treatments are expensive and those services may or may not
be covered by your insurance. Quality of life shouldn't be a financial
factor.
