OMG that's terrible 😭

Yup!! We were really lucky that my sister took it with composure, as she works in the medical field herself otherwise it could have led to a disaster.

They later said the reason for the immediate call was to start therapy as soon as possible as she was already in stage 3.

Do they tell the patient about cancer right away? Don't they tell about it to the relatives first?

Doctors don't sugar coat and pamper the patients these days. They instill fear true or untrue and start the procedures immediately. 

Vo sab filmo Mein hota hai aap bahar jao aapke ghar walon se Baat karni hai😆.

Ideally docs should not tell patient immediately 

They must prepare them

I know of one incident - an unmarried 70 year old had final stage cancer, he came alone for tests and they told get any sibling or family. But he said tell me its ok, they told he went home and silent at home. His sis asked him but he went silent not speaking at all. She ran to hospital and docs told what they told him "that hes in last stage of cancer may not live more than a year or so". He died 3 days later of knowing the news he had cancer. Not all are brave to take such things. He could have lived an year or more but died 3 days later because docs did not know how to speak to a person with cancer. Its very important to teach docs how to speak to patients, many docs are very blunt and rude. For them its a everyday thing. Not for that patient, its his life and death. In india docs lack that empathy they tell very bluntly. Things like "You may not live beyond a year" etc patient will already have been scared what happened to him and this news makes them shocked. Must tell slowly and nicely. 

You anyway knows a patient is serious, so why be blunt. Treat him nicely, how would you announce to a family member or friend. Have some sympathy or empathy and talk sweetly and nicely, give them hope. Even when there is none. Patients are not fools, they know something serious looking at docs face only, show some humanity. MBBS should incorporate this class how to tell a person such news.

yes thank god ❤️ It helped that she had led a very healthy lifestyle and was young.

Smoking and that too cigar everyday. Nothing unexpected happened tbh.

Still hope he lives for the sake of his family.

Sanjay has been leading an unhealthy lifestyle (drugs, smoking, alcohol) which took a toll on his health. He probably has less than 5 years to live because Stage 4 lung cancer can't be treated. His twins are very young, feel sad for them.
