Cancer treatment may include chemotherapy, radiation, and/or surgery.

Most cancers form tumors, but not all tumors are cancerous.

There are many types of cancer treatment. The types of treatment that you have will depend on the type of cancer you have and how advanced it is. Some people with cancer will have only one treatment. But most people have a combination of treatments. Cancer gives most people no symptoms or signs that exclusively indicate the disease. Unfortunately, every complaint or symptom of cancer can be explained by a harmless condition as well. Some cancers occur more frequently in certain age groups. Palliative care is care given to improve the quality of life of patients who have a serious or life-threatening disease, such as cancer. Palliative care is an approach to care that addresses the person as a whole, not just their disease. The goal is to prevent or treat, as early as possible, the symptoms and side effects of the disease and its treatment, in addition to any related psychological, social, and spiritual problems.  Palliative care is also called comfort care, supportive care, and symptom management. Patients may receive palliative care in the hospital, an outpatient clinic, a long-term care facility, or at home under the direction of a physician.

The lecture was very informative.

One of the most interesting sessions on was the session by Dr. Archana Tyagi – Professor, Coach, Trainer, Clinical Psychologist and Career Counsellor – during the post lunch section.Dr. Tyagi indicated at the outset she would utilise the session for concentrating on emotional intelligence.  She highlighted the fact that rather than talent, it was attitude that determined the degree of success that a person achieved in life. In other words, it was not talent, but the way that it was used that decided success. She used a video of a speech by renowned commentator Harsha Bhogle to make the point. While knowledge and skills are visible to others, attitude is a more hidden element as it reveals itself gradually with time.

Dr. Tyagi also spoke about the difference between a fixed mindset and a growth based one. In this context she referred to the real life story of Sri Lankan cricketer Marvan Atapattu, who made a spectacular comeback in spite of repeated failures. She also held forth on staying motivated by expecting better results from efforts, being flexible by using obstacles as a means for growth and managing oneself as the first pillar of emotional intelligence.
