After carefully searching and
sorting through all of the information on the articles for my topic I
definitely feel like I learned a lot. For example, I found out about the effect
of cancer on the children when one of their parents has it. I was definitely
not expecting to find research about the kids and how they felt about cancer so
I was really shocked to find that their was more than a couple of articles over
the kids. Another interesting thing that I found out after researching my topic
was the effect that it has on people’s romantic relationships. For example, I
found research that described how after the patient got diagnosed with cancer
it put a strain on the relationship and led to the couple filing for divorce.
After comparing all three articles I
could see that they had many similarities the number one being the financial
situation of the families and their daily struggle with money because of having
to take care of the patient. Also, I got read over the affects that the
children go through when their parents are diagnosed with cancer and how they
feel and manage to understand what is going on. I honestly feel that I learned
a lot about my topic. However, I would like to know more about the
organizations that help the patients with cancer and their families. One of the
most important things that I would like to know and research further is how the
family reacts after the death of a patient with cancer and if they prepare
themselves financially afterwards in case this kind of situation happened to them
again. Researching the effect that parents have when one of their child is
diagnosed with cancer would also be great to incorporate in to my topic to see
both sides. Finally, I feel like the journal articles have helped me with my
research so I don’t think I need to look elsewhere to find my information.
Thank you for reading my blog and listening to my ideas over my topic.
It's so awful that cancer can take a toll on a marriage, too.
