how do people in your culture view the treatment of cancer?

  Dealing with a disease like cancer is a very traumatic experience both for the patient and the family all over the world.  It does not matter where people live, everybody compassionate and realize this grief. However some people, faced this problem, perceive it easily. Rather than give in to discouragement and self-pity, they start to value the life, cary for the family and friends more. Their conversations and thoughts focuse on the positive. Moreover we know the facts, when the patients recuperate due to their faith in kindness. Despite the terminal sickness, they live the long life.
 My boyfriend's mother died of cancer, he was 18 years old, when it happened. Heard it, his family tended to look up every possible avenue for hope of preserving her life. She didn't complain about her fate and she tried to throw off the illness. Unfortunately, it was impossible to save her.
 It is really a tragedy for each person. But we have to appreciate our life and accept our fate.
