The various stages of cancer present very difficult and trying times in a patient’s life. Whether you or a loved one has been recently diagnosed, in remission or extended remission there are no guarantees that the cancer will ever be gone completely. Many cancer patients require ongoing treatment or periodic therapies, and essentially live with their cancer like it’s a chronic illness—never knowing when it’s going to come or go.
There are different challenges associated with the various stages of cancer. Physical inabilities, mental stress, emotional anxiety and insecurities are just some feelings cancer patients’ may experience. Oftentimes, these very struggles are what make independent living at home too hard to handle. This is why some people chose to move in with family, or into an assisted living facility.
