Treatment of symptoms - tackling your symptoms


        TREATMENT OF SYMPTOMS - TACKLING YOUR SYMPTOMS
How should your symptoms be tackled? Firstly, your practitioner should listen to your description. Next he or she should ask questions to help find out how much they are worrying, disabling or otherwise inconveniencing you, and to establish their cause. It is important that neither you nor your practitioner jump to the conclusion that your cancer is the cause for every symptom you get. Just as it was before you had cancer, the cause for any symptom must be looked for. To this end, your practitioner may need to examine you and arrange tests.
Next your practitioner should advise you on treatment for the symptoms. They can be treated either by tackling them directly or by treating their cause or both. For example, the pain of a broken leg can be treated with painkillers or by setting the fracture and immobilising the leg in a plaster cast, or both.
As a rule, treating the cause brings more long-lasting benefits than just treating the symptom itself. However, even if cancer is the cause of your symptoms, this does not mean that treating the cancer is necessarily the best approach. As always, you will have to weigh the cost against the benefit to decide what is best.
