Patient discussion about helpless.

Q. Why is the cancer make people die? I saw alot of people who die because cancer. I feel afraid of it.

A. Cancer is a a big and somewhat scary name for many malignant tumors that can grow anywhere in the body. The reason the disease can sometimes cause death is because the tumor cells grow much faster than healthy body cells, thus they invade in different tissues and organs of the body and make them stop functioning properly. You don't need to be afraid of the idea, because although that is one of the biggest medical problems nowadays, there are some very good treatments for many cancers and a lot of the people are cured completely. Cancer does not mean the same as death and the focus should be on early diagnosis and treatment.

Q. My pot shape belly is worrying me a lot and now I am helpless to bring it to right shape. What can help me? My pot shape belly is worrying me a lot and now I am helpless to bring it to right shape. My work is computer related and the shift schedule is so tough that I am left with no time for gym and exercise. There is a growth in my hips size as well and I feel completely uncomfortable. My body becomes completely heated after my work. I eat my meals regularly as I know pretty well that dieting without exercise does more harm than any good and I feel stressed. What can help me?

A. You reduce on your diet to small diet as it will be burned. Once the food is used by the body it won’t pound on your body. To reduce the gained fat and belly you have to do some exercise to excite muscles to form in the areas where you require and to reduce the excess fat where not required, especially at your belly and hips. I think you must go for swimming and this will definitely help ease your problems to a considerable level.
