Exercise
As most people can see vast of bracket must be on a consistent exercise routine which is clearly
demonstrated by his physique and during his chemotherapy he still continued
with his exercise
There's abundant evidence that exercise and eating right can help
prevent people from getting cancer.
The latest information shows that exercise
for cancer patients can also keep cancer from recurring. Several recent studies
suggest that higher levels of physical activity are associated with a reduced
risk of the cancer coming back, and a longer survival after a cancer
diagnosis," said Kerry Courneya, PhD, professor and Canada Research Chair
in Physical Activity and Cancer at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada.
In studies of several different cancers, being overweight after completing
treatment was associated with shorter survival times and higher risk of cancer
recurrence.
Seeking Professional
Advice
It might seem to interest you that the diagnosis of Lymphoma was
made by a haematologist in Nigeria, haematologist are specialist doctors that
focus on blood and blood disorders, even though they might have short supply of
specialist in Nigeria they still available if you want to see them. Nigeria is
a country where a professor with headache strolls into a pharmacy that is run
by a trader that has little or no formal education will now prescribe for a professor!
As a doctor I know so many symptoms could present with headache from a brain
tumor to stress. Seeking advice for the right healthcare professionals is key
in maintaining a healthy life
Early Diagnosis
Early detection of cancer greatly increases the chances for successful
treatment. There are two major components of early detection of cancer:
education to promote early diagnosis and screening. This two factors are not
very developed in many developing countries include Nigeria. For
lymphoma and other cancers of the blood the commonest presenting symptoms are
fever, weight loss and night sweat which can be mistaken for malaria or stress,
other early signs of cancer include lumps, sores that fail to heal, abnormal
bleeding, persistent indigestion, and chronic hoarseness. Early diagnosis is
particularly relevant for cancers of the breast, cervix, mouth, larynx, colon
and rectum, and skin.
Access to Quality
healthcare
I would have labelled this one access to money
but, access to money alone does not guarantee quality healthcare In 2001,
Nigeria had promised to spend 15% of its total annual budget on health. In
2013, only 5.6% of the budget is being spent the 2013 budget allocation to the
healthcare sector, on a per capita basis, comes to N1, 680 as against a World
Health Organisation (WHO) recommendation that governments spend a minimum of
N6, 908 per head, on providing healthcare services to their citizens. The 2013 budgetary allocation to healthcare
delivery is made even worse by the fact that 77 percent or N77 of every N100
allocated to the Ministry, would be spent on paying personnel employed in the
sector, leaving just N20 of every N100 spend, for capital expenditure incurred
by over 50 Federal Medical Centres and Teaching hospitals across the federation
and just N3 of every N100 budgeted for healthcare to cover overheads incurred, This compared to the United States of America
that spends 7000 dollars and Switzerland that spends 6,000 dollars per head
Support
Studies
have shown that people with high network and good social support tend to
survive cancer better, and that’s why we cannot rule out the social support
from his partner Smash, their record label other artist that would have called
or sent a goodwill message and the fans all this add up to improve survival
rate among cancer patients
Mercy of God
No matter how physically or spiritually strong
a man his cancer will humble the person down, and the multiplier effect of
cancer extends beyond the individual that is diagnosed with cancer but also
affects all the family members, some families never recover from cancer even
after the person with cancer dies.
Surviving the emotional
trauma of diagnosis and the warfare of chemotherapy and uphill task of body
rebuilding after chemotherapy is the grace of God as anything could go wrong during
the process
