The rights of cancer patients? and got a better answer
Response from
She has been treated and discharged home under medical supervision. She will go to a hematology center if emergency care is needed. My cousin's daughter has acute leukemia. When the diagnosis was made, she was in a hematology center for a month and a half, and then they have been living at home for 1.5 years for two weeks, then she had tests and blood transfusions and went home for two weeks. Sometimes the girl cannot stand it, her own bone marrow is killed by chemotherapy, but it does not function normally, and the transfusion does not last long - her leukocytes should be replaced with new ones within a month at most, and they go to the center earlier. After the end of the 2-year course of treatment,Autumn, will decide on a bone marrow transplant, but this thing is paid. The cost is about $10-15,000 and it could be unsuccessful. So a permanent stay in a specialized hospital, maybe she does not need it. And about your rights find out from a lawyer of the MHI fund or in the hematology center from its administration. There is also the Department of Health, the Ministry of Health, but you will have to ask for a referral to specialized treatment after you are certain that it is necessary. Talk to your doctor and see what he has to say. You never know what her mother-in-law will say. You can always blame the doctors. Good luck?

do you want to cure her? give the person a chance she is still alive! and your clinics will not help her you know it-hundreds and thousands of people have been cured of cancer completely but it seems you are already burying her.help-your doctors even in a specialized clinic will not extend her life and moreover will not return it!
This is the normal practice of such institutions.After active special therapy the subsequent treatment which they can do in the district institutions with regular checks in the special hospital.
Is blood cancer curable? It seems to me that such diseases cannot be cured. Doctors conduct a course of chemotherapy, for some time it gives an improvement and then the condition worsens again and so on until the end of life. And about treatment in a regular clinic, their task is not to treat but mainly to monitor not to miss the moment of exacerbation. There are cancer clinics in general. Why is she being sent to a regular one? Maybe you don't have one in your city? But she still needs to be seen by an oncologist. And she will be discharged from the clinic most likely because she has undergone a course of treatment and her condition has stabilized for the time being. There is no sense in keeping a patient there if there is nothing else to be done. He is better off at home anyway. And I think you might not be doing what you're supposed to be doing. If the illness is incurable, try to make life as easy as possible for the person. Talk to the doctors. Find out how this illness is going, maybe it has not much time left and maybe you can live with it for years. Either way it will be very hard for you. And keep in mind. In the clinic, the cancer is treated with aggressive therapy. The doctor's task is to achieve a result by any known means. Including, mostly, those which ruin the organism in parallel. Because cancer is death everything else can be survived.
