While the old man is unfortunate to have the disease, he is fortunate to have a filial son and daughter-in-law who understand the disease. This is the luck behind the misfortune, isn't it? Because in reality, there are a lot of families facing the same problem, not necessarily like this old man's son and daughter-in-law, willing to spend useless money and energy to treat and care for the elderly.

Some people say: I also want my family to get active treatment, but I really don't have that kind of money, the treatment cost is so high, the future of the children to go to school how to do, how to maintain the family life ah.

Anyhow, parents are also old, surgery, chemotherapy body can not eat, and may not be able to recover, come back to buy some medicine to eat, conservative treatment it. In fact, this kind of idea is not to blame, from the perspective of personal life they have enough reasons.

But in the face of similar problems, perhaps we can be a little more rational to look at:

One, from the disease itself to consider

Is there a cure possible? If there is a high probability of cure, it is certainly necessary to make every effort to treatment, which is also our responsibility as children should do; can not be cured, but through active comprehensive treatment, can control a longer period of time, can be relatively long term survival, I believe that this should also go to the effort, do not give up lightly.

Two, from the economic and family considerations

The treatment of disease, can not be separated from the money, and even many times, "money" on the treatment of disease is a decisive role. If it is the kind of incurable advanced disease, the economic situation and general, comprehensive consideration of the useless treatment will cause a heavy blow to the life, if so, then perhaps the focus of the treatment can be adjusted in time, on top of the attentive care, more time to accompany, through the emotional accompaniment as far as possible to alleviate the physical pain.

Three, listen to the wishes of the elderly

In fact, now there are many elderly, in the knowledge that is incurable, and did not insist on treatment. There are two reasons for this: like the old man at the beginning of the article, they don't want to increase the burden on their children and drag their families down. He was extremely afraid of the surgery and chemotherapy required for the disease itself, and was afraid that he wouldn't be able to get off the operating table.

Sons and daughters also need to maintain communication and exchange with their parents, and pay more attention to their parents' mood and mental state. Nowadays, many young people are busy with their careers, leaving early and returning late, and coming back to the children around, neglecting to communicate with their parents. In fact, let the parents to maintain a good mood is also a very important way to prevent disease.
