Medicationdiscountcard.com Supports "Go Gold" — Childhood Cancer Awareness Month
Houston, TX (PRWEB) September 03, 2015 -- In anticipation of the events planned to raise childhood cancer awareness in September — Medicationdiscountcard.com renews its mission to help make prescription drugs more affordable for the consumer by offering discounts on medication. Battling cancer is difficult enough, without the added financial pressure that prescription drug costs can bring.
The body is composed of trillions of cells that are born, move through a life cycle, die and are then removed. Cancer is a name given to a large range of diseases that interfere with this process. All cancers involve the unchecked growth and cell division of various tissues and organs of the body. The rampant and chaotic growth of these tumors will many times spread to bones and other organs. If untreated, cancer's effects on the body as a whole are catastrophic.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is a treatment for cancer. It is usually drug-related, but may also involve radiation treatments. Specifically, chemotherapy targets those cancer cells in the body which grow at an out-of-control pace. Chemotherapy drugs attempt to neutralize these diseased cells, so that the body will replace them with healthy ones. Cancer drug research continues to narrow down the effects of these drugs, in pursuit of insuring that these medicines only affect cancer cells, instead of healthy tissues. Among children, leukemia (blood cancer) is still the most commonly diagnosed cancer. Using a Unituxin coupon, a Methotrexate coupon, or a Vincristine Sulfate Pfs discount card can save consumers money on the costs of these prescriptions at the pharmacy.
Side Effects
Chemotherapy drugs are especially harsh and difficult for the body. Chemotherapy's aggressive treatment, through proven effective if started early enough, takes its own toll in addition to the cancer. Patients are often prescribed other medications to help deal with the side effects of this treatment (nausea, fatigue and hair loss being the most common). Anyone may print a Zofran coupon, an Ativan discount card, or a Phenergan coupon to use with their prescription.
Childhood cancers are known to be hard-hitting and fast growing. Depending on the type and stage of the cancer diagnosed, treatment options range from surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation — or combinations of these treatments.
Although a good prognosis for cancer is statistically higher for children than for adults, the effects of long and short-term symptoms from cancer treatment can be incredibly difficult for patients. Managing these side effects becomes an arduous battle for cancer victims. Cancer treatment drugs remain some of the most expensive on the market. Even with insurance, the costs of battling this deadly disease can bring financial ruin — without additional help.
