When Nourishment Hurts: Why IV Saline May Be Kinder Than Juices :
An Interactive Session on Cancer Awareness and Prevention was recently organized by Lions Clubs International, District 320C, aiming to educate the public on the importance of early cancer detection. The speaker highlighted that early diagnosis offers a better chance for successful treatment, fewer complications, and longer life. Many cancers, when detected early, can be managed effectively with the right medical support. The session focused on common symptoms, risk factors, and lifestyle changes that help prevent cancer. It also emphasized the need for regular health check-ups and spreading awareness among communities, especially in rural areas. This initiative by Lions Clubs is a vital step in encouraging people to be proactive about their health.
The session also discussed how end-of-life care plays a crucial role in the last stages of cancer. When a patient is near death, doctors often prefer saline (IV fluids) instead of juices. This is because patients at that stage usually lose the ability to swallow or digest, and juices can lead to choking or discomfort. Saline keeps the body hydrated gently and safely, reducing distress. The goal in such cases is comfort, not nutrition. This information helped attendees understand the medical reasoning behind palliative care choices. The event was both informative and compassionate, aiming to support families in every stage of a cancer journey.
