Symptom 1: Intense pain.
In advanced cancer, the growth of the tumor may compress the surrounding tissues and nerves, or because the cancer cells have reached the bones, causing bone pain. The pain is usually unbearable, as if it had been burned by a fire.
Symptom 2: Rapid loss of physical strength and weight.
This condition is also sometimes referred to as cachexia. Not only is it a manifestation of malnutrition and muscle loss, but its effects go far beyond simple weight loss. Cachexia can also lead to a weakened immune system, a weakened ability to recover, and a reduced likelihood of surgery**. The patient's physical strength will be like a sea drained and unable to support daily activities.
Symptom 3: Multi-organ failure.
Multi-organ failure often marks a poor prognosis for patients, which not only makes it difficult but may also require physicians to shift their focus from being positive to relieving symptoms and improving quality of life. The failure of multiple organs is like a extinguished flame, which gradually dims the flame of the patient's life. At this time, doctors and families need to pay more attention and care to their patients to improve their quality of life as much as possible.
