Depending upon the specific type of cancer the signs of upcoming death vary. Generally they have similarity in many cases, unless the patient has multiple disorders and other complications. Observing one or more such symptoms does not necessarily mean that the person is on the verge of life and will soon say final good bye to his relatives.
Having some sort of information about these is highly essential to avoid further health deterioration. Besides, it can invoke to manage cancer more carefully while one starts having any of death signs after becoming a victim of cancer-the ruthless killer. Mainly at the last stage of the disease, these problems can occur to foretell the ultimate consequence-death:
False illusions, confusion, inability to recognize familiar people
Many affected people can lose senses, resulting in hallucinations and senseless beliefs. They are too confused about time and date. Some even talk to their relatives who passed away years ago, never realizing they are no more alive and certainly can’t have conversation with anyone. Similarly, the places that don’t exist in reality can be visualized by the patient. This is due to extremely disturbed psychological system which has resulted due to ongoing cancer that will take away the life of the person.
Anorexia, loss of appetite
This symptom is obvious in almost all types of cancers that have got a severe stage and will lead to the end of patient’s life. This aversion to food may be in the early stages but when it attains continuity and occurs to an extreme level, this signals that disease has now affected any vital part to a great extent. Since, nutrition is not supplied to the body, drastic weight loss and related complications will finally deprive the patient of this precious life.
No control over bowel and bladder excretion
When near death, many cancer patients completely lose control over their urine and stool excretion. Many of them spoil the bed they are without ever noticing. This system is disturbed especially in cancers of sexual and genital organs with abnormal changes in their daily removal habit and frequency. Usually, the urine is dark than normal in color.
Drowsiness and lethargic feeling
At last stage of cancer, many people have been found to experience sleepiness and too unresponsive of the surrounding factors or stimuli. They feel lethargic all the time; sleep more than they normally did in the past. They stay considerably less alert than they were in the initial stage of the disease. Sometimes, response is totally absent since the patient becomes speechless but is capable of hearing others voice and surrounding sounds. This disturbed speech and vocal ability is really a serious death sign.
Abnormal breathing sound
Many patients have a gurgling sound while they inhale or exhale air. This can be loud, irregular with unstable breathing that can get fast at times then slower than before.
Cold blue skin
Another death alert is the skin of the patient is cold when touched. It also lacks its pinkish color and vitality that it once was; now turning into pale blue tone. However, the affected individual is unaware of it, and may not feel this coldness. Perhaps, this lack of warmth is making the person drowsy, sleepy, lazy and lethargic. This is the very reason that causes a noticeable increase in sleep duration.
Introvert and unsocial
Many patients become less social than they normally were when they enter into the last stage of the disease. They are now inactive, unhappy and don’t feel like meeting with relatives, family or friends. They are cut-off with the society they live in and seem restless. The extreme disturbance and sadness makes them confined to their room.
The patients must be well treated in the initial stage of disease to avoid all these dangerous signals that ultimately put their life at an end.
